Description
This Norwegian folk story tells the tale of Astrid, a girl who leaves her impoverished family to live with a mysterious white bear in a golden castle. The bear is actually a cursed prince who is forced to marry a wicked troll named Long Nose after Astrid accidentally reveals his human form. To save him, she embarks on an arduous journey to a castle located east of the sun and west of the moon, aided by magical hags and the four winds. Upon arrival, she uses magical treasures to gain access to the prince and outsmarts the greedy trolls by successfully cleaning a stained shirt. This Oxford University Press edition includes educational guidance for parents and teachers to help children develop reading comprehension and storytelling skills. Ultimately, the narrative demonstrates how loyalty and sincere affection can overcome dark enchantments.
