(With illustrations!) This amazing book was written by a Swedist fisherman who claims he found his way inside the earth and had an amazing encounter with a race of super wise giants who have lived inside the earth since ancient times.

Yes, it's a book that you can add to your "hollow earth" studies. It's one of the classics in the field, so read this account and judge for yourself!

This book was written using notes and maps from Olaf Jansen of Sweden. He was a boy when he traveled with his father on fishing trips around the Scandinavian coast. Leaving Wijade Bay on June 23, 1829, they sailed to Hinlopen Strait and along the rocky coast of Franz Josef Land. After sailing for 24 hours, they came to a beautiful inlet where the air was unseasonably warm. In front of them they saw an open sea. Both father and son, having a love of the sea and a spirit of adventure, decided in that moment to explore this unknown sea. Thus begins their most incredible journey.

After being ridiculed and laughed at in his homeland for relating his experiences, a demoralized Olaf moved to America in 1889. In the last years of his life he met and confided in a neighbor, who was a writer. The book about his experiences was written by Willis George Emerson of Los Angeles. It was published by Forbes and Company in Chicago in 1908.
