Description
Hans Aanrud’s classic children’s story, originally Sølve Solfeng, depicts the life and adventures of Sölve, a young boy living in the Norwegian countryside. Set in a rural valley, the novel captures the authentic, often difficult, existence of country children who had to work hard, frequently far from home, as shepherds or herders. Aanrud’s tale is celebrated for its folksy humor, atmospheric descriptions of the Nordic landscape, and its honest portrayal of peasant character.
