About this book

Boyhood in Norway by Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen carries the subtitle Stories of Boy-Life in the Land of the Midnight Sun. The contents list titles such as, among others, The Battle of the Rafts, The Nixy’s Strain and The Bear That Had a Bank Account.

Under the heading The Origin of the War, the text says a deadly feud was raging among the boys of Numedale, and that the East-Siders hated the West-Siders. The text says a volley of stones, big and little, was hurled after the fugitive, who now realizing his position ran for dear life. The text says a mother bear, not in a mood to be trifled with, rose with an angry roar on her hind legs and advanced against the unhappy Skull-Splitter with two uplifted paws. The text says the Prince, turning the corner of a projecting rock, saw a huge, shaggy beast standing on its hind legs, examining in a leisurely manner the inside of a hollow tree.
