Until recently, Kristensen (1843-1929) was largely ignored by the Danish public. Now he has become a cultural hero amongst scholarly circles because he was the first to truly document peasant life. This is the first biography of Kristensen, a collector of folklore and author of 79 books, whose life adventures are as rich as the ones he shared with the public. This wonderful book provides extensive insight into Kristensen’s life as well as the lives of peasants from 19th century Denmark.
