Excerpt from The Pilot and His Wife
It is in many respects a great advantage to an author to have been born in a country where there is such an abundance of fallow land, which the aggressive literature of our century has not yet utilized.

Jonas Lie, like Mr. Schulze, spent many years of his youth as the deputy of a judge in these half-arctic regions, and he has thus had abundant opportunity to study this strange life in its pathetic as well as in its humorous aspects.

Excerpt from The Pilot and His Wife
On presenting this translation to the public, I desire to express my obligation to Professor R. B. Anderson for his kind encouragement and careful supervision of my work. His interest and enthusiasm for Norse literature, both ancient and modern, are inspiring; and his recent work on Norse mythology has done much to call the attention of the English-speaking public to our ancestral deities.
To those who have had the exquisite pleasure of reading Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the great delineator of Norse peasant life in the interior, and desire a glimpse of the maritime and coast life of this northern people, I commend this narrative of Jonas Lie.
I trust that the interest of the story may atone for any imperfections on my part.
