| Summary |
"Lisbeth Longfrock" by Hans Aanrud is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story is centered on a young girl, Lisbeth Longfrock, who faces the challenges of rural life in Norway as she takes on responsibilities that arise from her family's hardships. It explores themes of growth, resilience, and the simple yet profound experiences of childhood. The opening of the book introduces Lisbeth as she embarks on her first visit to Hoel Farm, taking her mother's place as a spinning woman due to her mother's illness. As she arrives, she is met by Bearhunter, the farm dog, and her encounter with the farm offers a sense of wonder and excitement. We learn about Lisbeth’s background and her family's struggles at Peerout Castle, where her mother has been working hard to provide for them. This sets the stage for Lisbeth’s journey into independence and the responsibilities that come with growing up in the Norwegian countryside. The beginning establishes both the charming rural setting and the challenges that will shape Lisbeth's character throughout the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
