Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Remarkable collection — the only complete edition of these wonderful tales — contains scores of classic Norwegian tales made even more attractive by 77 illustrations by famed children's artists. Second only to Grimm.

well the pictures are nice, but quite honestly the telling of the story is kind of choppy, to the point where you can almost feel the gaps as you're reading it, but the progression is faithful to older versions of the myth. i consider a 4 to be a pretty decent rank when it comes to these things, and i wouldn't have given this story a 4 if is was just the print, but the pictures were pretty nice. They were colourful with an attention given to detail (which maybe should've been directed to the storytelling) ... Read More

This is a wonderful reference book for anyone interested in fairy tales. The stories are engrossing and would be enjoyed by children with excellent reading skills at about 4th-5th grade level and up. The information given by Amazon is that the reading level is for ages 4-8, so I thought I would correct that mis-information. The vocabulary is sometimes rather arcane and the sentence structure complex. The book would be equally enjoyable to young adult and adult readers as to young readers.

This is the most wonderful story to read to children. My grandmother read it to me as a child. The story gives children a dreamy sense of enchantment and restful time away from today's world. This has always been my favorite childhood book and I have read it hundreds of times to my children and grandchildren.

P.J.Lynch's vivid illustrations are gorgeous. Without them, however, left on its own, the story flounders. Although fairy tales often make use of repetition, this narrative is much too redundant. You meet, for example, seven characters, and each one repeats the same long, tedious text. To make it worse, the sentence structure is routine and dull. Too many sentences begin with "So", "Then", "Well", or "But". When we do read it, I can't wait for it to finally reach its drawn-out ending.

This was my absolute favorite book when I was little. The illustrations are absolutely gorgous, the writing (translation is by Sir George Webbe Dasent) is quirky and reads well.
I find it hard to believe that this version is out of print. If you ever see it, get it, for yourself or for a young friend. Both of you would enjoy it.
