Illustration for story East of the Sun and West of the Moon.

"....if you really wish to go thither, and aren't afraid to come along with me, I'll take you on my back and see if I can blow you thither....Early next morning the North Wind woke her, and puffed himself up, and blew himself out, and made himself so stout and big, 'twas gruesome to look at him; and so off they went high up through the air, as if they would never stop till they got to the world's end."

I wasn't happy with the girl and the clouds.

Kay Nielsen illustrated this story in a book by the same name, here is his excellent North Wind [link]
