Tales from the fjeld : a series of popular tales from the Norse of P. Ch. Asbjörnsen
Tales from the Fjeld is a 1917 New York collection of Norwegian folk tales by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, translated by George Webbe Dasent and illustrated by J. Moyr Smith, published by Putnam's for general readers and children. The pen-and-ink plates show a tree-hugging peasant lad, a turbaned figure and a feathered hat gentleman in conversation, a veiled woman peering toward a crouching figure in woods, and a lady and gentleman by a table, giving designers loose, gestural line work for scenes of folk-tale characters in ornate costume.
