Here are the Norwegian tales Asbjørnsen and Moe gathered from country people: East o’ the Sun and West o’ the Moon, Why the Sea Is Salt, Boots who ate a match with the troll, and dozens more about trolls, giants and clever youngest sons. George Webbe Dasent’s translation adds a long introduction on where folk tales come from and how they spread.
