EAST OF THE SUN AND

WEST OF THE MOON

	Page
“Well, mind and hold tight by my shaggy coat, and then there’s nothing to fear,” said the Bear, so she rode a long, long way	9
“Tell me the way, then,” she said, “and I’ll search you out”	16
And then she lay on a little green patch in the midst of the gloomy thick wood	24
The North Wind goes over the sea	32
And flitted away as far as they could from the Castle that lay East of the Sun and West of the Moon	40
THE BLUE BELT
The Lad in the Bear’s skin, and the King of Arabia’s daughter	48
6PRINCE LINDWORM
She saw the Lindworm for the first time, as he came in and stood by her side	56
THE LASSIE AND HER GODMOTHER
She could not help setting the door a little ajar, just to peep in, when—Pop! out flew the Moon	64
Then he coaxed her down and took her home	72
“Here are your children; now you shall have them again. I am the Virgin Mary”	80
He too saw the image in the water; but he looked up at once, and became aware of the lovely Lassie who sate there up in the tree	FRONTISPIECE
THE THREE PRINCESSES OF WHITELAND
“You’ll come to three Princesses, whom you will see standing in the earth up to their necks, with only their heads out”	88
So the man gave him a pair of snow shoes	96
The King went into the Castle, and at first his Queen didn’t know him, he was so wan and thin, through wandering so far and being so woeful	104
7THE GIANT WHO HAD NO HEART IN HIS BODY
The six brothers riding out to woo	112
“On that island stands a church; in that church is a well; in that well swims a duck”	120
He took a long, long farewell of the Princess, and when he got out of the Giant’s door, there stood the Wolf waiting for him	128
THE WIDOW'S SON
When he had walked a day or so, a strange man met him. “Whither away?” asked the man	136
But still the Horse begged him to look behind him	144
And this time she whisked off the wig; and there lay the lad, so lovely, and white and red, just as the Princess had seen him in the morning sun	152
The Lad in the Battle	160
8THE THREE PRINCESSES IN THE BLUE MOUNTAIN
Just as they bent down to take the rose a big dense snowdrift came and carried them away	168
The Troll was quite willing, and before long he fell asleep and began snoring	176
As soon as they tugged at the rope, the Captain and the Lieutenant pulled up the Princesses, the one after the other	184
No sooner had he whistled than he heard a whizzing and a whirring from all quarters, and such a large flock of birds swept down that they blackened all the field in which they settled	192
