The tales selected for this volume were designed to represent all aspects of the unique cultural heritage of the Danish people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrundtvig issued an appeal in 1854 for his countrymen to collect and submit the stories, which, until then, were largely oral, handed down from generation to generation. Hundreds of stories were duly compiled, and Gruntvig's final collection was published in 1876-and became an instant hit.While stories such as \"Olaf the Mermaid's Son,\" \"The Raven of Salby,\" and \"Prince Irregang and Maid Miseri\" stamped the tales as solidly Danish in origin, other stories such as \"The Most Obedient Wife,\" \"Virtue Its Own Reward,\" and \"The School of Black Art,\" contain moral lessons which could be universal, but which are still unique to this small northern European nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories can be read for delight, or as part of serious scholarly research, and are meant to be enjoyed by children and adults alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003eWilly Faith\u003cbr\u003eThe Lass of Söndervand\u003cbr\u003eThe Wishing-Box\u003cbr\u003eOlaf the Mermaid's Son\u003cbr\u003eThe Miserly Squire\u003cbr\u003eThe Roe Deer Princess\u003cbr\u003ePrince Irregang and Maid Miseri\u003cbr\u003eThe Three Red Piggies\u003cbr\u003eThe Dumb Queen\u003cbr\u003eThe Wise Queen\u003cbr\u003eFor Three Shillings\u003cbr\u003eThe Cobbler's Lad\u003cbr\u003eThe Raven of Salby\u003cbr\u003eThe Most Obedient Wife\u003cbr\u003eVirtue Its Own Reward\u003cbr\u003eFaithful Svend\u003cbr\u003eHealth and Happiness\u003cbr\u003eThe School of Black Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSvend Hersleb Grundtvig (1824-1883) was one of Denmark's leading literary historians and ethnographers.
