Three chunky volumes (815 pages, 617 pages, and 665 pages).</p><p>2. Original prefaces from eight editions.</p><p>3. Jørgen Moe’s substantial introduction to the folktales, in which he discusses the origins of folk narratives, and how the Norwegian material exemplifies his ideas.</p><p>4. All 122 folktales Asbjørnsen &amp; Moe published during their careers.</p><p>5. 28 hulder tales and folk legends, a genre Asbjørnsen defined, in which he embeds the legends of the hidden folk.</p><p>6. Approximately 350 illustrations by some of the most accomplished artists Norway has known, including Hans Gude, Erik Werenskiold and Theodor Kittelsen.</p><p>7. Asbjørnsen &amp; Moe’s notes on the folktales, which detail the variant(s) the collectors used to compose each folktale, sketch out other variants they collected, and compare the Norwegian folktales with similar traditions from other regions.</p><p>8. Newly-researched editor’s notes, which identify the collector responsible for the composition of each text, give collection data, including tale type, geographical origin, collector, informant, and date of collection, sketch biographical details of informants, where known, give previous publication and translation details, trace historical and literary sources, and draw attention to points of particular interest.</p><p>9. Editor’s prefaces to each volume, which trace the publication history of the original volumes represented, as well as previous translations.</p><p>10. Comprehensive – perhaps even exhaustive – bibliographies to each volume.</p><p><a href="/tags/norwegianfolktales/" rel="tag">#norwegianfolktales</a> <a href="/tags/norwegianlegends/" rel="tag">#norwegianlegends</a> <a href="/tags/folklore/" rel="tag">#folklore</a> <a href="/tags/folklorethursday/" rel="tag">#folklorethursday</a> <a href="/tags/folktales/" rel="tag">#folktales</a> @norwegianfolktales @folklore <a href="/tags/fairytales/" rel="tag">#fairytales</a> @folklorethursday <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a></p>
