About this book
*Tales from Two Hemispheres* is a collection of short stories by Norwegian-American author Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen, whose fiction often explored Scandinavian settings and the immigrant experience. It would interest readers of nineteenth-century literature and those studying Norwegian-American writing. One correction to the record: the 1995 date is a modern reprint; the collection was originally published in 1876.
