THE FISHER MAIDEN.
By BJOeRNSTJERN BJOeRNSON.
_16mo, Cloth_, $1.25.
"An artist, not a photographer."--_Athenaeum_.
* * * "There was room for a true genius, one with poetic insight and
thorough faith in the simple element at his command, and surely such a
man has recently arisen in Bjoernson The exquisite emotions,
apprehension of beautiful truths combined with musical sympathies,
constitutes sometimes a faculty in itself, and yields to mankind a
lyrist like Tennyson, and an idyllic thinker like Bjoernson."--_London
Spectator_.
"One of Bjoernson's best stories. The character of the heroine is
poetically delineated, and through her life he teaches the great
thought that the genius of an individual should determine his
destiny. The arguments in defence of his theory are spirited and are
just."--_New York Leader_.
"The workmanship is singularly fine, like some of that in Flemish
interiors and Moorish jewelry. There are few characters, but each is a
study, and the tale is both a story and an argument."--_N. Am. and U.
S. Gazette_.
"A story drawn from nature with the pen of a master."--_Boston
Traveller_.
"A gem--an incident in the literary history of the world."--_Troy
Times_.
