About this book
Eleven tales of fishermen and sea-spirits come from Nordland, in northern Norway, where Jonas Lie grew up on local legends. R. Nisbet Bain's preface says the supernatural beings of those coasts are mostly malignant. The first story, "The Fisherman and the Draug," follows a poor fisherman called Elias and his wife Karen on the haunted islet of Kvalholm. Others include "The Wind-Gnome" and "The Huldrefish." The English edition of 1893 has twelve illustrations by Laurence Housman.
