(2) 4-6 Translated by Tiina Nunnally. Asbjørnsen and Moe first published their Norske folkeeventyr("Norwegian folktales") as a pamphlet in 1841; through the decades, they added tales and revised editions until in 1866 they reached the full contingent of sixty stories. Here, for the first time, all sixty have been translated into English (previous collections have contained about half that). With an enthusiastic foreword by Neil Gaiman and a thorough and informative translator's note by Nunnally, the collection includes tales "about magic spells, mountain-sized trolls, resourceful princesses, and the intrepid young boy named Ash Lad." The retellings are lively and clearly work to retain the flavor of the originals. The stories range from pourquoi tales to rousing adventures to domestic dramas to a few that, as Nunnally puts it, are "just plain odd." A valuable collection for scholars and readers alike.

(4) 1-3 Translated by Tiina Nunnally. Illustrated by Ingrid Vang Nyman. Like Pippi Moves In, this second collection of comics (originally published in a Swedish children's magazine in the 1950s) is translated and available in the U.S. for the first time. The simple four-page stories are told via word balloons and bold, cheerful illustrations. The slight tales may serve as introductions to the longer novels or appeal to readers already familiar with Pippi's exploits.

(4) 1-3 Translated by Tiina Nunnally. Illustrated by Ingrid Vang Nyman. A collection of comics originally published in a children's magazine in Sweden in the 1950s are here translated and published in book form in the United States for the first time. Children familiar with the novels will recognize the genesis of stories they know well. The plots are slight, but the humor and art are strong and childlike.

(3) 4-6 Translated by Tiina Nunnally. Illustrated by Lauren Child. This glorious oversize edition, felicitously translated, celebrates the hundredth anniversary of Lindgren's birth. Child has outdone herself in conveying the mayhem and magic of Pippi's world. Using her trademark collages and clever typographical designs, she makes us believe that Pippi can hardly be contained within the pages and might come bursting forth the minute we turn our backs.
