East o' the sun and west o' the moon : with other Norwegian folk tales
A 1912 Chicago edition of Norwegian folk tales collected by Asbjørnsen and Moe, illustrated for children and retold by Gudrun Thorne-Thomsen. The pictures are painted and inked storybook scenes with rustic Norwegian settings, folk costume, and dramatic moments of pursuit and trickery. A designer could take their warm earthy palette, loose watercolour washes, and bold dark outlines as a model for folktale illustration.
