A hero is an individuals gifts and achievements. Whether it be man or animal, this definition applies; and it is the histories of such that appeal to the imagination and to the hearts of those who hear them. In this volume every one of the stories, though more or less composite is the White Reindeer. This story I wrote by Utrovand in Norway during the summer of 1900, while the Reindeer herds grazed in sight on the near uplands.

Boats of her build were not common in that country, and curiosity would naturally lead any honest visitors to inquiry and inspection. The boat, held by the oars, remained almost stationary in the water for a moment and then slowly turned and started up stream in the direction of the Black Bear.

Brynja Wisting thought her life couldn't get any worse: she had just broken up with Jared, still wasn't over being dumped by Vic, butchered her hair in a depressed fit, and had to go back to school for all to judge, including the two boys at the center of her turmoil.
