"East of the Sun and West of the Moon" (Norwegian: Østenfor sol og vestenfor måne) is a Norwegian fairy-tale. It was collected by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, who compiled it from variants they recorded in the regions of Ringerike and Telemark. The tale was first published in 1844 as No. 42 in Norske Folkeeventyr Anden Deel, before being subsequently renumbered as No. 41 in 1852. "East of the Sun and West of the Moon" was included by Andrew Lang in The Blue Fairy Book (1889). It is related to the cycle of the Animal as Bridegroom or The Search for the Lost Husband, and is classified in the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index as tale type ATU 425A, "The Animal (Monster) as Bridegroom". Other tales of this type include "Black Bull of Norroway", "The Brown Bear of Norway", "The Daughter of the Skies", "The Enchanted Pig", "The Tale of the Hoodie", "Master Semolina", "The Sprig of Rosemary", "The Enchanted Snake", and "White-Bear-King-Valemon". The Swedish version is called "Prince Hat Under the Ground". It was likely an offspring from the tale of "Cupid and Psyche" in The Golden Ass, which gave rise to similar animal bridegroom cycles such as "Beauty and the Beast".
