009 - Soria Moria Castle

from East of the Sun and West of the Moon · host Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, Jørgen Engebretsen Moe

Once upon a time, there lived a humble husbandman with so many children that he struggled to provide them with food and clothing. Among them, the youngest daughter stood out, her beauty unmatched and captivating. One fateful Thursday evening, as a storm raged outside, something unexpected tapped three times on the window. The father ventured out to investigate and was met by a magnificent White Bear. Good evening! said the Bear. Will you give me your youngest daughter? In return, I will transform your poverty into wealth, he promised. This enchanting collection of old Scandinavian fairy tales weaves together stories of trolls, enchanted castles, daring princesses, and the mysterious White Bear—prepare to be spellbound!
