Excerpt from The Fisher Lass To this quiet town there came, many years ago, a worthy man of the name of Per Olsen. He came from the country, where he had gained his livelihood as a pedlar and a fiddler. In the town he opened a shop for his old customers, where, besides petty wares, he sold spirits and bread; and there he might be heard walking up and down in the apartment behind the shop, playing country dances and wedding marches. Every time he passed the door, he peeped through the glass pane, and, if a customer had come in, he ended what he was playing with a shake, and went into the shop. His business prospered, he married and had a son whom he called after himself; not, however, Per, but Peter.

His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors including W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle. G. K.
