Publisher's Synopsis
""The Necken: A Play in Two Acts"" is a dramatic work written by Elizabeth Green Crane and originally published in 1913. The play centers around the mythical creature known as the Necken, a water spirit from Scandinavian folklore who is said to lure people to their deaths in rivers and lakes. The story follows a group of young people who become fascinated with the Necken and its legend, and who ultimately decide to seek out the creature for themselves. As they journey deeper into the forest and the river, they begin to experience strange and eerie phenomena, and must confront the reality of the Necken's power and danger. Through its exploration of the Necken myth and its themes of curiosity, fear, and the unknown, ""The Necken"" offers a haunting and thought-provoking look at the human psyche and our relationship with the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
