The Lassie and Her Godmother

The Lassie and Her Godmother (Norwegian: "Jomfru Maria som gudmor"; Virgin Mary as godmother) is a Norwegian fairy tale collected by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe in Norske Folkeeventyr.

[1] The Brothers Grimm noted its similarity to their Mary's Child, and also to the Italian The Goat-faced Girl.

The next time the foster mother went away, she opened the second door, and the moon sprang out.

She wandered in the woods until nightfall, when she climbed a tree over water and slept there.

Thereafter they lived happily, and even the prince's mother grew to love the young queen.
