Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, (1938). Hardcover first edition - The only book by this Swedish poet to appear in English. Karlfedt was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature posthumously in 1931, This includes a selection of poems from the 6 volumes published during his lifetime and one published in 1934, translated and with an introduction by Charles Wharton Stork. In his introduction, Stork notes, that like the American poet Robert Frost, to whom he dedicated this book, Karlfeldt "did not merely look at nature, he shared actively in the life of the soil. He knew what it was to be a farmer, a miner, a hunter . . . . He mixed with the toilers as one of their own stock, he danced with them in the open air at their Midsummer Night revels. It was thus that he always remained in spirit a northern Arcadian.Ó Copy no. 388 of "an edition limited to five hundred copies printed on Fiemish book paper ... by the Colwell Press, Inc., Minneapolis.
