Nisse vs. Crone - "Round the Norwegian Yule- Log" (S3, #11)
Manage episode 356327073 series 2799527
In this episode, we’ll be exploring the folklore around the "nisse," a Norwegian house spirit, found throughout Scandinavia (by different names). I’ll read the story “Round the Yule Log,” by P. Chr. Asbjornsen which includes several folktales. Further, we’ll reflect on the negative stereotype of the old maid. What should we do with the stories from the past that no longer fit with our modern sensibilities?
Story: from P. Chr. Asbjornsen, “Round the Yule-Log" In Christmas in Norway. Boston, MA: Colonial Press, 1895. (Found at Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/31993/31993-h/31993-h.htm).
Cover photo: From one of the many unidentified illustrators in the book, perhaps Hans Gude or Vincent Stoltenberg Lerche (artists, please sign your work!).
