  • Beautiful fairytale book

    I've have collected Kay Nielsen's art work for years. I've seen this book for a long time but never purchased it. Finally just did it. It is beautiful and I always wanted to know the story of East of the Sun and West of the Moon. Now I do. Beautiful book inside and out.

  • Fairy tale land

    Some of the wording seems different than the original. And definitely the pictures are not like the original 1920 edition. And Aiken Drum is not in this remake.
