Christmas in Scandinavia by Sven H Rossel
An anthology of 17 tales by 19th- and 20th-century writers from the Scandinavian countries, Faroe Islands, and Finland. It tells about robbers on a raid, a homeless stranger seeking kindness, excited children, and a talking Christmas tree, all under the spell of the season.
“This marvelous anthology collects 17 splendid tales by 19th- and 20th-century writers from the Scandinavian countries, Faroe Islands, and Finland. . . An indispensable collection and one of the most delightful fictional surprises of the year.”—Kirkus
“Among the many masterpieces of the Christmas story are Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Fir Tree’ and stories by Nobel laureates Selma Lagerlof and Johannes V. Jensen. Most of the 17 pieces have never before been available in English.”—Tulsa World
