Excerpt from Synnove Solbakken IN a large valley it Often happens that there is a high spot, Open on every side, which the sun paints with his pencils from early dawn until twilight has faded away. And they who live nearer the foot of the mountains, and sel domer get the sun, call this spot a Solbakke.1 The person of whom this story tells lived in such a spot as this, and from it the gard 2 took its name. There the snow was last to cover the ground in the autumn, and there it first melted in the spring. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
