Dealer Notes
The first UK edition (while Knopf had a London office) of the Nobel Laureate’s trilogy. In this translation the books are The Garland, The Mistress of Husaby and The Cross. The life and death of a woman in 14th century Norway told with realistic accuracy. Uncommon generally but scarce in this condition.
