W. Dasent is a collection of children's stories based on traditional Norse tales, likely compiled in the mid-19th century. This selection presents an assortment of moral and imaginative tales, showcasing various characters, including clever heroes, enchanted animals, and magical beings, each with their own adventures. The beginning of the collection introduces the premise of cleaning up the tales to make them more suitable for children, hinting at the stories' themes of morality and ethical lessons. It includes the tale "True and Untrue," following the contrasting fates of two brothers—one honest and virtuous, the other deceitful. True's journey of resilience and eventual triumph over hardship, despite being blinded by his brother, sets the tone for the collection, suggesting that perseverance and integrity ultimately prevail.
