"Told in a manner which would not be discreditable to Anthony Trollope himself, and in fact, is very much in his vein,"--Hartford Courant.
The Fisher Maiden.
By Björnstjern Björnson.
16mo, Cloth, $1.25.
"An artist, not a photographer."--Athenæum.
* * * "There was room for a true genius, one with poetic insight and thorough faith in the simple element at his command, and surely such a man has recently arisen in Björnson The exquisite emotions, apprehension of beautiful truths combined with musical sympathies, constitutes sometimes a faculty in itself, and yields to mankind a lyrist like Tennyson, and an idyllic thinker like Björnson."--London Spectator.
"One of Björnson's best stories. The character of the heroine is poetically delineated, and through her life he teaches the great thought that the genius of an individual should determine his destiny. The arguments in defence of his theory are spirited and are just."--New York Leader.
"The workmanship is singularly fine, like some of that in Flemish interiors and Moorish jewelry. There are few characters, but each is a study, and the tale is both a story and an argument."--N. Am. and U. S. Gazette.
"A story drawn from nature with the pen of a master."--Boston Traveller.
