Taschen have published an absolutely glorious reprint of East of the Sun and West of the Moon illustrated by Kay Nielsen. It’s a gorgeous and incredibly high-quality volume, and I give it my highest recommendation - if you love fairy-tale art and illustration, it’s simply unmissable. The best part is the introduction, which is packed full of rare Nielsen illustration spanning his whole career.
Seriously, go and buy this. Once I get my camera working I plan on taking photos of the interior to show you why this is a must have. It’s easily one of the best books in my collection.
Oh my god. This is one of my favorite fairy tales and this makes it twice as gorgeous.
