Swedish Fairy Tales by Herman Hofberg translated by W. H. Myers (Rare Book Collection)
It is probably known to most readers that there is a distinction between Tradition and Saga. Tradition has, or at least seems to have, to do with facts, usually designating some particular spot or region where the incident is said to have taken place, often even giving the names of actors, while the Saga is entirely free in its scope, equally as regards incident, and the time and place of its happening. Not infrequently the traditions of a people are founded upon actual historical occurrences, which, often repeated in the naive manner of the peasantry, become, finally, folk-lore. A great many are, however, drawn from ancient myths, which, in time, become clad in historical garb, and are located in some particular place.

A self-described fumerist (feminist humorist), Clinton offers her thoughts about being a lesbian and a comic who confronts controversial political issues head on, as well as many of the everyday situations that illustrate the consequences of her politics.
