Although I have read both Sidsel Longskirt and Solve Suntrap in their separate volumes - see my reviews of those titles for a fuller discussion - I was curious to track down this omnibus edition, to see if any extras were included. The only differences I could observe were that the initial color frontispiece from Solve Suntrap was omitted here, and that a brief one-page glossary of terms that was not present in either individual volume, was included in Sidsel Longskirt and Solve Suntrap: Two Children of Norway. I enjoyed both of these stories, despite finding the earlier translation of Sidsel Sidsærk (it was first translated into English in 1907, and entitled Lisbeth Longfrock) preferable to the one included here. Aanrud's stories address themes of loss and belonging, and depict the hard work of living on a farm, and the beauties of the natural world. I would recommend this volume, and the two novels it contains, to anyone interested in Norwegian children's literature specifically, as well as to anyone looking more generally for children's stories about farm life and the natural world.
