Illustrations from new books - The Giant who had no Heart: from "Round The Yule Log:" Norwegian Folk and Fairy Tales, 1881. Engraving from '...a volume of Norwegian Folk and Fairy Tales, collected under the Christmas title, "Round the Yule Log," published by Messrs. Sampson Low and Co...The Norwegian writer of these racy little stories, most of which have been current for ages in the oral traditions of the country people, is Peter Christen Asbjörnsen, assisted at the beginning by Jorgen Moe, now Bishop of Christiansand...Some of the engravings, which are of foreign design and execution, must be pronounced superior to the average of book-illustrations; but those we have selected may bear witness to their own merit. The story of the hateful Giant, who kept his heart not in his body, but in a very singular hiding-place, where young Ashiepattle, the hero of this adventure, with the aid of a captive Princess, at length contrived to find it, will prove entertaining to many young readers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
