An account of life in the far northern Arctic regions of Scandinavia - Lapland, the Swedish and Norwegian Mountains, and the Arctic Ocean - where the sun is not seen for 67 days, creating a long night ruled by the moon, the stars and the aurora borealis - written for older children (or "dear Young Folks" as Du Chaillu greets them in his introduction.)

Beautifully bound in green cloth with gilt letterings. Minimal edge-wear, corners slightly bent. Interior is clean and bright with little to no foxing. Front endpage is signed by previous owner (1900). Includes all illustrations, though the last on pg 262 has detatched. Excluding that one illustration, all is tightly bound and in very good to very good+ condition.
