In the valley of Numedale the boys of the east and west banks have played at war so long that they have forgotten it was play, under chieftains with names like Skull-Splitter and Erling the Lop-Sided. Boyesen’s stories follow these feuds, a schoolboy’s Christmas vacation, hunting expeditions, and a lad who hears the music of the nixy.
Lively stories by a Norwegian-born American writer, drawing on his own boyhood and full of snow, mountains and mischief. Download the free EPUB.
