Madame Undset's essay on folk tales, which serves as the introduction to this collection of Norwegian stories, encompasses cosmology, mythology, anthropology and more to explain her well-thought out belief that folk tales are good and worthy of knowing. Raised in a secular fashion in a Lutheran country, which to some extent wanted to deny its cultural heritage as "anti-Christian" Undset wished to set the record straight, so to speak, and did so through this fine chapter in her book of folk tales for children.

A selection of Norwegian folktales chosen by Sigrid Undset, True and Untrue and Other Norse Tales is based on the classic folklore collected by Pieter Christian Asbjornsen and Jorgen Moe. These wonderful stories tell of worlds similar to our own, worlds with love and hate, sorrow and joy, humor and pathos. Beginning with brothers named True and Untrue, the book takes readers through tales of princes and princesses, giants and trolls, husbands and wives, and a castle that is "East o' the Sun and West o' the Moon." Strikingly illustrated by Frederick T. Chapman while under fire in Italy during the Second World War and with a remarkable foreword by Undset, True and Untrue and Other Norse Tales has a story for everyone.
