NOTE
The fjords of Norway, by their uniquecharm, annually attract an increasingnumber of English and American tourists.
This volume, the artist hopes, may befound useful to the traveller who desiresa more intimate acquaintance with thecountry and its people than may beacquired from a casual visit to its shores.
It is the outcome of periodical visits toNorway extending over the last fifteenyears, including two winters spent amongthe fjords and mountains of that delightfuland interesting country.
In claiming for this volume no literarymerit whatever, the artist trusts that the{vi}reader, whilst accepting it as perhaps afeeble statement of bare facts, will findcompensation for any lack in this respectby appreciating his efforts in theillustrations. A.H.C.
