An early edition of this captivating children's tale, published circa 1910.
First published in 1899.
With eight colour plates by the renowned book illustrator Arthur Rackham. One of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration. Collated complete.
This copy includes an insightful introduction by the editor, F.C. Tilney.
Written by Harriet Martineau, this work is a thrilling adventure story to be read by children. Set in the Norwegian fiords, Martineau poetically conveys the 'mystic charm' of this environment, and 'brings home to the youthful mind the wonder of the physiographical peculiarities of the northern latitudes'.
The work is part of the Tales for Children from Many Lands series.
