This  work  is  destined  to  delight  many  readers.  There  is  a  dramatic  as  well  as  descriptive  power

Afraja  is  destined  to  a  wide  and  enduring  popularity,  and  it  will  take  a  distinguished  place  among
the  highest  order  of  classic  fictions.  The  variety  and  contrast  of  characters  invest  the  book  with  a
new  charm.  The  cold,  self-sacrificing  Dda;  the  artless  child  of  nature,  Gula;  the  warm-hearted,
passionate  Hannah,  have  their  counterparts  in  the  pure,  high-minded  Danish  Baron,  Marstrand,  the
simple,  guileless  Bjornarne,  and  the  crafty,  vindictive  Petersen.  The  cunning,  avaricious  traders,
Helgestad  and  Fandrem,  are  confronted  with  the  magnanimous  old  Lapland  chief  Afraja,  whose  mys
terious  character  and  life,  reputed  wealth,  and  fame  as  a  necromancer,  keep  the  imagination  of  the
reader  in  a  continued  stretch  of  excitement  to  the  last  page. — Inquirer.
