Simon Roy Hughes 🍄I have uploaded .pdf copies of both editions of The Complete Norwegian Folktales and Legends of Asbjørnsen & Moe to ko-fi, where they are now available for purchase at less-than-half the cost of the Amazon paperback books.Details and links on my Website here:<a href="https://norwegianfolktales.net/books/the-complete-norwegian-folktales-and-legends-of-asbjornsen-moe" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://norwegianfolktales.net/books/the-complete-norwegian-folktales-and-legends-of-asbjornsen-moe</a>I think you should choose the annotated edition; here’s what you get:1. Three chunky volumes (815 pages, 617 pages, and 665 pages).2. Original prefaces from eight editions.3. Jørgen Moe’s substantial introduction to the folktales, in which he discusses the origins of folk narratives, and how the Norwegian material exemplifies his ideas.4. All 122 folktales Asbjørnsen & Moe published during their careers.5. 28 hulder tales and folk legends, a genre Asbjørnsen defined, in which he embeds the legends of the hidden folk.6. Approximately 350 illustrations by some of the most accomplished artists Norway has known, including Hans Gude, Erik Werenskiold and Theodor Kittelsen.7. Asbjørnsen & Moe’s notes on the folktales, which detail the variant(s) the collectors used to compose each folktale, sketch out other variants they collected, and compare the Norwegian folktales with similar traditions from other regions.8. Newly-researched editor’s notes, which identify the collector responsible for the composition of each text, give collection data, including tale type, geographical origin, collector, informant, and date of collection, sketch biographical details of informants, where known, give previous publication and translation details, trace historical and literary sources, and draw attention to points of particular interest.9. Editor’s prefaces to each volume, which trace the publication history of the original volumes represented, as well as previous translations.10. Comprehensive – perhaps even exhaustive – bibliographies to each volume.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/norwegianfolktales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#norwegianfolktales</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/norwegianlegends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#norwegianlegends</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folklore</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/folklorethursday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folklorethursday</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/folktales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folktales</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/norwegianfolktales" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@norwegianfolktales</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/folklore" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@folklore</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/fairytales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fairytales</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/folklorethursday" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@folklorethursday</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a>

Simon Roy Hughes 🍄Here is the reason I refuse to have a side hustle. Hustle (verb) 1. push roughly; jostle. 2. obtain illicitly or by forceful action. 3. engage in prostitution.Hustle (noun) 1. a state of great activity. 2. a fraud or swindle.(Definitions from Oxford dictionaries.)In fact, I appear to have turned my back on the idea of exhausting myself by producing a constant stream of promotional material, and posting it to every online platform under the sun, disregarding how much money my content allows the most anti-social people on earth to make off my back, in the scant hopes of a sale. It would be a foolish waste of my time, attention, and energy that is better spent translating and writing more books. The books are out there, but I am not going to try to manipulate people into buying them. That said, if you want to buy books full of amusing, silly, dark, strange Norwegian folklore, lovingly translated into English, please take a look at my stuff: <a href="https://norwegianfolktales.net/books/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://norwegianfolktales.net/books/</a>. If you don't even take a look, that's OK, too. Yes, my books are available on Amazon, making one of the chief arseholes of the world money, but at least Amazon’s POD outfit is an honest business transaction: they offer a service unavailable elsewhere, and I purchase that service. (Other aspects of Amazon meet the definition of hustle above.)<a href="https://beige.party/tags/norwegianfolktales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#norwegianfolktales</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/norwegianlegends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#norwegianlegends</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folklore</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/folklorethursday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folklorethursday</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/folktales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folktales</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/norwegianfolktales" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@norwegianfolktales</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/folklore" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@folklore</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/fairytales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fairytales</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/folklorethursday" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@folklorethursday</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/antiCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antiCapitalism</a>I hope your Sunday is as good as it may be. ✌️

WenA reasoned look at the poor 'science' that is confidently used to push nonsense.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/jan/29/all-in-the-mind-the-surprising-truth-about-brain-rot" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/jan/29/all-in-the-mind-the-surprising-truth-about-brain-rot</a>The “study” that spearheaded this cascade of concern in 2005, and is still quoted today, claimed that using email lowered IQ more than cannabis. But Shane O’Mara, prof of experimental brain research at Trinity College, smelled a rat when he couldn’t find the original paper.

Simon Roy Hughes 🍄The books arrived. Beautiful volumes from the 1970s full of folktales, some of which I haven’t read before. The tale I bought it for was this one:“Wolf Greyshanksson Poochstead”There was once upon a time a prince and a princess who held one another very dear. On the day before their wedding, the prince rode out hunting. Then a troll-hag came to him, saying that if he would take her as his queen, then she would make him immensely powerful, and give him more wealth than he had never seen.But if he would not, then she would turn him into a beast; he would not get the princess anyway.“No, I shall never take you,” he said, lifting an arrow to his bow to shoot her.The troll-hag immediately cast a wolfskin on him, and said that he should run around the forest, and that he would not be able to stop before someone called him Wolf Greyshanksson Poochstead. But when he came to the mountain where the troll-hag lived, he would become human again.[…]It continues with a Rumpelstilzchen motif.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/norwegianfolktales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#norwegianfolktales</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/norwegianlegends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#norwegianlegends</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folklore</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/folklorethursday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folklorethursday</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/folktales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folktales</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/norwegianfolktales" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@norwegianfolktales</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/folklore" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@folklore</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/fairytales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fairytales</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/folklorethursday" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@folklorethursday</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a>
