  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blessed&amp;#8212;or cursed&amp;#8212;with an ability to understand animals, the Lass (as she&amp;#8217;s known to her family) has always been an oddball. And when an &lt;i&gt;isbjorn&lt;/i&gt; (polar bear) seeks her out, and promises that her family will become rich if only the Lass will accompany him to his castle, she doesn&amp;#8217;t hesitate. But the bear is not what he seems, nor is his castle, which is made of ice and inhabited by a silent staff of servents. Only a grueling journey on the backs of the four winds will reveal the truth: the bear is really a prince who&amp;#8217;s been enchanted by a troll queen, and the Lass must come up with a way to free him before he&amp;#8217;s forced to marry a troll princess.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[East of the Sun, West of the Moon is one of my favorite fairy tales. Changeling polar bears, hello! You can't go wrong there! One of the reasons I love that fairy tale is that it's a great example of how not all fairy tales are about locked up princesses waiting for their prince to come.

    <body><![CDATA[Delighted to find another retold fairy tale. The first two thirds of the book is excellent as the author re-images the East of the Sun, West of the Moon tale in a Norwegian setting. Note also the strands that are elements of Beauty and the Beast, and the Greek myth of Psyche and the lamp. (See also ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50090166">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I picked this book up simply cause I loved this author's other book. And I loved this book too! Jessica Day George has a great way of keeping the reader eager for her next move in the plot line. This book was a little odd starting out I thought, but it was just setting the story up.

    <body><![CDATA[Growing up I had an illustrated book of fairy tales that I read from cover to cover. &quot;East of the Sun, West of the Moon&quot; was one of my favorites, I can still see the Troll Princess scrubbing the night shirt in the illustration.

    <body><![CDATA[I read it too fast.  I might have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been flying through it to see what happened next.  What George really masters is the suspense in the storyline, the pull to figure out the mystery of the circumstances.  I probably would've been more patient for the details in this one if...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45858197">more...</a>]]></body>

I had the opportunity to live in Norway for a summer so when I heard that this book was based on an old Norwegian fairytale (East of the Sun, West of the Moon) I couldn’t wait to start reading.
