NORWEGIAN TALES

OR

EVENINGS AT OAKWOOD

Preface by Rev. S. BARING-GOULD

Translated from the work of Hanna Winsnes by Ellen White. 12mo, Cloth extra. Price is. 6d.


"A pleasant little book. Several fairy legends set in a frame of dialogue (the interlocutors being four little Norwegian school-girls and their governess), and moralised for their benefit, without prosiness or cant."—Church Times.

"This is a good collection of new fairy tales. They are all founded on ancient Norwegian legends."—Literary Churchman.

"Some are quaint and pretty, and some have a little dash of humour in them. The style reminds one of Fouqué's charming stories."—Guardian.

"A charming little book of stories. There is a captivating freshness about them which we do not often recognise in similar works."—Orchestra.
