日之东·月之西：北欧故事集
(norway) Peter Aberronson, Written By Jungen Moy (denry), Illustrated By Kai Nielsen
Norwegian writers and scholars Peter Aberjonsen and Jungen Moi are famous Nordic "story hunters." Through many years of hiking, the two collected folk tale materials from various places. In the mid-to-late 19th century, they published many story collections. They are regarded as the foundation of modern Norwegian language culture. They are as famous as Andersen's fairy tales in Denmark and Grimm's fairy tales in Germany. They have become a must-read for Europeans' childhood. "East of the Sun, West of the Moon", first published in 1914, is the most widely circulated version in the series. It selects 15 classic stories from Norway and Denmark, and pairs them with 25 exquisite illustrations specially drawn by the European illustrator Kay Nielsen. It is recognized as one of the most beautiful illustrated books in modern Europe and America. In 2008, it set a record for the highest price in the history of picture books in the UK. A classic work of Nordic literature and collection-level illustrations, it will take you on an extraordinary reading journey.
