Title Note

Note to Moderator:

UK tp; it's unclear if there's an ebook (Goodreads lists an ASIN, but it gives an error page if you try it on Amazon) Will try to find some details about this author and publisher to populate their records when they're created, and to find out info about the original Danish pub to create a parent for this. (GR seems to know about it)
