This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)After giving up on Lagerlof's better known 'Gosta Berling', I thought I would try this volume of thirteen of her short stories. I would rate these as extremely variable, between 4/5 for those set in the real world, and 2/5 for the numerous ones with a faerie element - during the latter my concentration kept wandering.
There are some lovely descriptions of the Swedish countryside, and thoughts on life and religion. I enjoyed 'The Legend of the Bird's Nest', where Hatto the Hermit, a curmudgeonly old man 'who drove the little children away from his hole telling them that it had been best for them if they had never been born', finds a family of birds nesting in his hand as he stands still, and comes to understand God's love:
'Perhaps,when all was said, God the Father held this earth in His right hand like a big bird's nest, and perhaps He had come to cherish love for all those who build and dwell there.'
Didn't leave me with any great wish to read more of Ms Lagerlof's work.
