Magic and myth inhabit these chapters in figures both familiar and strange. Giant trolls and talking animals are everywhere. The winds take human form. A one-eyed old woman might seem reminiscent of the Norse god Odin. We meet sly aunts, resourceful princesses, and devious robbers. These stories, set in Norway's majestic landscape of towering mountains and dense forests, are filled with humor, mischief, and sometimes surprisingly cruel twists of fate. All are rendered in the deceptively simple narrative style perfected by Asbjørnsen and Moe.

Tra amori fugaci, alcool, gruppi rock e sigarette, i due Asle si incontrano per la prima volta. Si assomigliano, si vestono allo stesso modo ed entrambi vogliono fare i pittori.

Per questo interviene in conferenze in tutto il mondo, il che per lei, abitante di un'isola a nord del Circolo polare artico, significa per forza salire su un aereo. Di ritorno dal convegno, Alba fa una riflessione: per compensare la sua impronta di carbonio di quell'anno, dovrebbe piantare cinquemilaseicento alberi.
