Abbie Farwell Brown 
In The Days of Giants 

This book is made of the stories told by the Northern folk, —the people who live in the land of the midnight sun, where summer is green and pleasant, but winter is a terrible time of cold and gloom; where rocky mountains tower like huge giants, over whose heads the thunder rolls and crashes, and under whose feet are mines of precious metals. Therefore you will find the tales full of giants and dwarfs, —spirits of the cold mountains and dark caverns.
