title: The Best of The Norwegian Heritage Volume II
author: Arland O. Fiske
description: Arland Fiske has delighted the hearts and minds of thousands of people with his books. He has created a treasure trove of remembrances for Scandinavian-Americans. All of us who value the heritage are indebted to Fiske for capturing the persons and places, the values and foibles, the stories and folkways of these people. While focusing on the Scandinavians, and particularly the Norwegians, the author tells stories that reflect the immigrant history of most Americans. It is good news whenever Fiske produces another volume. I commend this latest book, Volume II of The Best Of The Norwegian Heritage to all who enjoy reading a good book. --Dr. David W. Preus, Bishop Emeritus, American Lutheran Church&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not unlike the Norwegian koldbord (buffet), Arland Fiskes Norwegian stories serve up a myriad of dishes. collectively they add up to quite a meal, particularly for those whose acquaintance with Norway's past and present is casual at best. Volume II of The Best Of The Norwegian Heritage, essentially a compilation of independent but topically classified vignettes, might well stimulate a reader to a life-long interest in Norway, thereby making, as it were, a continent out of the many islands found here. --Dr. Loyd Hustvedt, Past Secretary, The Norwegian-American Historical Association<br /><br />Not unlike the Norwegian koldbord (buffet), Arland Fiskes Norwegian stories serve up a myriad of dishes. collectively they add up to quite a meal, particularly for those whose acquaintance with Norway's past and present is casual at best.
