This book illustrates the Scandinavian version of Beauty and the Beast. It also is similar to the story about Psyche and Cupid.

Review: The illustrations are absolutely gorgous, the writing (translation is by Sir George Webbe Dasent) is quirky and reads well.This book can be considered as Scandinavian Beauty and the Beast. This story is about a bewitched prince and the determined lassie who loves him and overcome a serious of difficulties, finally win price's heart and live happily with the prince. The plot got on my nerves.I am in awe at how this fairy tale ended. It was beautiful and the message even better! It also show how this lassie grew by meeting this prince and striving for what she wanted most.
It meets the criteria of Folktale because the story is a body of popular myth——similar to Beauty and the Beast. The beliefs also relating to a particular place (Scandinavia), activity( palace and find the prince), or group of people (lassie's family, 3 hags, price, princess, stepmother.

The story included so many elements that are common to fairy tales and the beautiful pictures by Lynch are fanciful and reminded me of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
