On their harrowing journey, the intrepid orphans face threats to their lives and moral perils. But they carry themselves with a nobility that transcends social class and a joy that shines through their hardship. The Children of Frostmo Mountain is a classic of Swedish literature. It is a tale about destiny, virtue, and the values passed on from parents to children. This is an unabridged English translation, including the author ´s forward from the original 1907 edition.
