"The translators are to be congratulated upon their successful rendering of the story, the publishers have also got up the book in a highly creditable manner. Altogether the translation is well worthy of all who are interested in Scandinavian literature."--_Iron and Coal Trades Review_, Dec. 22, 1869. "Opens to us a field of freshness and beauty which never loses its charm for readers of all ages."--_Standard_, Jan. 26, 1870. "It is not for the novelty of the story so much as for the fresh vivid picture it presents of peasant life in Norway that we commend the book to the English reader."--_Trubner's American and Oriental Literary Record_, Dec. 24, 1869. "This is a charmingly simple and beautiful story ... It is as real as actual life, and as poetical as Milton's Paradise, not great with ponderous thoughts, but running over with exquisite poetry, suggesting new worlds of beauty lying under every day things.... A pure spiritual beauty, which the author has drawn from the simplest outward things in peasant life, lies over all the story, and bathes everything in the cool calm light of heaven."--_The Border Advertiser_, Dec. 19, 1869. "The book is indeed redolent of country pastures, of sweet smelling pine woods, of happy, glad, unsophisticated Northern life.... It touches chords lying hidden in the depths of the mysteries of race and language, and moves us as, perhaps, no book of the warm but alien south could succeed in doing."--_Northern Daily Express_. "The story has enough of originality, and of the foreign element, to make it quite worthy of translation and of general acceptance."--_The Illustrated London News_, July 23, 1870. "We cannot speak too highly of the excellence of this translation. It reads as if it had been originally written in English."--_The Manchester Weekly Times_, June 11, 1870.
