The 1914 collection illustrated by Kay Nielsen brings together two Norwegian journeys. Three goats need to cross a brook by a bridge. In the other tale, a young woman asks the winds how to reach a castle beyond familiar geography. Read the two in the same edition and compare the pace of a short crossing with a long search.
