"The Master Maid" is a Norwegian fairy tale collected by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe in their Norske Folkeeventyr. "Master" indicates "superior, skilled." Jørgen Moe wrote the tale down from the storyteller Anne Godlid in Seljord on a short visit in the autumn of 1842. George Dasent translated the tale to English in Popular Tales from the North (1859). Andrew Lang included the tale in The Blue Fairy Book (1889).
