About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Norwegian Fairy Book by Klara Stroebe. (Translated by Frederick Herman Martens.) Read in English by Paul Harvey These Norwegian tales of elemental mountain, forest and sea spirits, have been handed down by hinds and huntsmen, wood choppers and fisher folk. They are men who led a hard and lonely life amid primitive surroundings. The Norwegian Fairy Book has an appeal for one and all, since it is a book in which the mirror of fairy-tale reflects human yearnings and aspirations, human loves, ambitions and disillusionments, in an imaginatively glamored, yet not distorted form. [from the book's preface]
