“The combination of mythological arrival and conquest annals with the strategic inclusion of genealogies allow the annals as a whole to present all the kingdoms and sub-kingdoms of Britannia as important members of a larger family. They show the supremacy of the Germanic incomers over the native Britons, and they focus on the House of Wessex almost from the outset, showing the West Saxons to be the natural leaders of this group.”

So, I know Day of the Triffids and Chocky, but not this one or The Midwich Cuckoos. Love the cover of this edition. Partly prompted by the advocacy of @ianRobinson, but it's been on the #tsundoku pike for a couple of years at least. 📖 #books#bookstodon@bookstodon

The Annotated Edition is the most comprehensive edition of Asbjørnsen & Moe that has ever been published in any language. You get all 150 folk narratives (122 folktales, 28 hulder tales and folk legends), original prefaces from eight editions, Jørgen Moe’s substantial scholarly introduction to the Norwegian folktales, more than 350 illustrations by Theodor Kittelsen, Erik Werenskiold, Otto Sinding, Hans Gude, Adolph Tidemand, August Schneider, Johan Eckersberg, etc. Asbjørnsen’s and Moe’s original notes on the majority of the folktales, newly-researched editor’s notes on every folktale and hulder tale and folk legend, a comprehensive bibliography in each volume.
If you choose the Just the Stories edition, you get all 150 folk narratives published by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen (1812-1885) and Jørgen Moe (1813-1882), arranged according to the order of Samlede eventyr (3 vols. Oslo: Gyldendal. 1936), which has become the standard Norwegian edition. Three folktales have been added to the collection for the first time. This edition is fully illustrated with artwork by Theodor Kittelsen, Erik Werenskiold, Otto Sinding, Hans Gude, Adolph Tidemand, August Schneider, Johan Eckersberg, etc. Here, however, there are no introductions and no appendices of notes, following Asbjørnsen’s revelation that to many readers, “the scholarly appendices are an insignificant, unimportant, or incomprehensible ballast, which also makes such a book disproportionately more expensive.”
