'The ship that went just as well on land as on water'... an illustration by Theodor Kittelson for the Norwegian folk tale, 'The Ash Lad and the Good Helpers'. It comes from a rather lovely anthology of such tales published in 1960.

@evelyn #Bokmål is a think #language of most #Norwegians, but it is not so #Norwegian. It is an #ethnolect of the #Danish language, however Norwegians do not want to know this fact. But #Nynorsk is really Norwegian. Three languages origin from Old #Norse; they are #Icelandic, #Faroese and Nynorsk. I heard that the modern #Icelanders (and only they) can read #manuscripts written in #Norway fifteen #centuries ago, without learning Old Norse.
