Jonas Lie was a Norwegian author of both long and short fiction. His works often seek to portray life and customs of Norwegian society, like the economic importance of fishing and supernatural beings from local folklore.
His stories are set in the Norwegian countryside and feature primarily peasants. Both Christianity and Nordic folklore are present in the tales, with spirits and magic having a significant role in the plots.
This edition of Short Fiction contains all of his short stories known to be translated into English, which were mostly published in a collection called Weird Tales from Northern Seas in 1893.
