Summary "Norwegische Volksmährchen vol. 1" by Asbjørnsen and Moe is a collection of Norwegian folk tales written in the mid-19th century. The book features enchanting stories involving themes of bravery, cleverness, and magic, populated by a variety of characters, including trolls, princes, and resourceful protagonists like Aschenbrödel, who faces challenges while demonstrating wit and charm. At the start of this collection, the opening portion introduces the story of Aschenbrödel, the youngest son of a poor man, who embarks on a journey to secure the favor of a king despite his older brothers' disdain for him. The narrative recounts how he ingeniously obtains the king’s desired possessions—a set of silver ducks, a decorative blanket from a troll, and a magical harp—through cunning and bravery, all while facing the challenges presented by the envious behavior of his siblings and the threats posed by the formidable troll. Aschenbrödel’s cleverness and determination set the stage for a tale that blends humor, adventure, and a touch of moral lesson that resonates throughout the folk tradition.
