East of the Sun and West of the Moon

Collected by G.W. Dasent

Illustrated by Kay Nielsen

These Scandinavian fairy tales have had many interpretations through the years, but never have they been so beautifully illustrated as in this sumptuous edition. Golden Age artist Kay Nielsen, a master of fantasy, lavished the text with 25 intricately detailed color and numerous black-and-white images that glow with his phantasmagorical style. With 15 stories that include the popular “Billy Goat’s Gruff,” this is one of the most stunning children’s books ever produced.
