These stories of magic and adventure come from the countries at the"top of the world," and will transport thither in fancy the children whoread this unusual book. They tell of Lapps and reindeer (even agolden-horned reindeer!), of prince and herd-boy, of knights and wolvesand trolls, of a boy who could be hungry and merry at the same time--ofall these and more besides! Miss Poulsson's numerous and long visits toNorway, her father's land, and the fact that she is an experiencedwriter for children are doubtless the reasons why her translations aresympathetic and skilful, and yet entirely adapted to give wholesomepleasure to the young public that she knows so well.
"In these stories are the elements of wonder and magic and adventure that furnish the thrill so much appreciated by boys and girls ten or twelve years of age. An aristocratic book--one that every young person will be perpetually proud of."--_Lookout, Cincinnati, O._
"In this book the children are transported to the land they love best, the land of magic, of the fairies and all kinds of wonderful happenings. It is one of the best fairy story books ever published."--_Argus-Leader, Sioux Falls, S.D._
