On the evening of Sunday the 9th of October I reached Mundheim, having accomplished 42 English miles that day in my boat, and slept soundly in a peasant's house by the water-side. On nearly every Nses, or small promontory on the Hardanger Fiord, are to be seen cairns, or heaps of stones laid upon the rock, which were placed there (as the peasants say) in former times to be used as missiles in battle. But it is much more probable that they mark the burying-place of some renowned robber or sea-king. At a place 10 miles from Mundheim, called Scobbostein Naes, and not long ago, the skeleton of a man was found in a kind of coffin concealed under a heap of such stones. During this coasting trip I heard many wonderful stories of the elves or mountain sprites of the Hardanger.

Book excerpt: "My aim in it has been to convey a juster and less prejudiced notion than prevails at present respecting the Danish and Norwegian conquests." -Jens Jacob Asmussen Worsaae, An Account of the Danes and the Norwegians (1852) An Account of the Danes and the Norwegians in England, Scotland and Ireland (1852) by Jens Warsaae, was based on his research into the Scandinavian invasions of the European mainland. During the 10th century, the European mainland was invaded by Norse settlers from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, who intermarried with native tribes and came to be known as "Normans." While their influence on the history of France was significant, it was even stronger in England, which the Normans conquered in the 11th century. Warsaae's book, commissioned by the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries, was his attempt to revise the impressions that the 19th century British had of the effects of the Norman conquests on England. This replica of the original text is accompanied by numerous woodcuts.
