Peer Stromme's best-known novel, Halvor, was first published as a serial novel in a Norwegian language newspaper in 1892. This 194 page softcover fictionalized autobiography about Halvor, his childhood in a pioneer settlement in Wisconsin and his adolescent years at Luther College offers readers a precious glimpse into a past that is all but forgotten. Laced with sly humor and gentle satire, this newest English translated edition by Neil T. Eckstein is a great read!
