"The Princess on the Glass Hill" or "The Maiden on the Glass Mountain"[1] (Norwegian: Jomfruen på glassberget) is a Norwegian fairy tale collected by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe in Norske Folkeeventyr.[2] It recounts how the youngest son of three obtains a magical horse and uses it to win the princess.
It is Aarne–Thompson type 530, which is named after it: the princess on the glass mountain. It is a popular type of tale, although the feats that the hero must perform in the second part, having obtaining the magical horse in the first, vary greatly.[3]
