In this dark Norwegian folk tale, a young shop assistant accidentally chances upon the secret stores of the hidden underground people - and one of their women becomes enamoured of him. But what calls to him every Yuletide...?

This is an audio presentation (with music and sound effects) of "The Earth Draws" by Jonas Lie, translated by R. Nisbet-Bain (1893).
