This collection, True and Untrue and Other Norse Tales, edited by
Sigrid Undset and illustrated by Frederick T. Chapman, contains
twenty-eight classic Norse narratives. They include the folkloric
stories of ‘East O’ the Sun and West O’ the Moon’, ‘The
Seven Foals’, ‘Why the Sea is Salt’, ‘The Squire’s Bride’,
and ‘The Master Thief’.The tales are accompanied by the masterful
artwork of Frederick T. Chapman; a book and Magazine illustrator, who
contributed to numerous publications including Woman’s Home
Companion, Collier’s, and American Magazines. He is best known for
his pioneering work in children’s books such as ‘Joan, Maid of
France, ‘White Falcon’, and ‘Luther Burbank, Nature’s
Helper.’Presented alongside the text, Chapman’s enchanting
creations serve to further refine and enhance the classic Nordic
storytelling – making this a book to be enjoyed and appreciated, by
both young and old alike. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden
Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of
unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the
1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children’s
stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists,
illustrators and authors.
