Sometime in the late 1990s, my wife went to a used book sale and brought home a handsome if slightly tattered paperback published in 1957 in Denmark.
From the Danish Peninsula, by Steen Steensen Blicher (1782-1848), had been translated into English and illustrated with woodcuts. It contains three poems and a novella-length tale, “The Parson at Veilby,” based on an actual event said to have taken place in Jutland, northern Denmark, in the 17th century.
