Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from When I Was a Boy in Norway Customs in Norway vary much in the different sections and valleys. What is customary in one valley may be strange or even unknown in another. This will be easily understood when we remember that the people in the solitary parishes have had little intercommunion and that each parish has clung to its own traditions and customs. With this in view, I have had the choice of either presenting that which is true of a small section or parish, or that which is more generally true for the whole country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boyhood in Norway: Stories of Boy-Life in the Land of the Midnight Sun The hostile parties had played at war so long that they had forgotten that it was play and now were actually inspired with the emotions which they had formerly simulated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In God's Way: A Novel; Translated From the Norwegian IN the melting snow on the hill-side by the sea, in the last rays of the evening sun, stood a boy of fourteen, awestruck. He looked toward the west, out across the sea; he looked toward the east, over town and shore and the broad hills; in the background still higher peaks rose far away in the clear sky. The storm had lasted a long time it had been more terrible, too, than any the old people could remember. In spite of the new dyke, many ships had been driven ashore, and many had sunk. The telegraph brought news of wrecks all along the coast, and close by here the herring-nets had been broken and washed away, oars and anchors had disappeared it was even feared that the worst was not yet known. It was but a few hours since a calm had set in, the storm had abated, the gusts of wind ceased, all was over - all except the last low grumblings of the storm. But the sea was rebellious it does not do to stir up the deep and then to run away. Far off in the distance great sea-waves, higher than houses, came rolling up in endless lines with foam-white crests and a crashing fall; the dull, heavy thud was heard across the town and shore; it was like a piece of land slipping away down into space.

Their answers, while exceedingly thoughtful and introspective, are also amusing, fascinating, and moving. Each one of these deeply intimate and stunning portraits will captivate and inspire readers as they embark on this profound journey that reminds us all of the power of motherhood and the great gift of love.
