The amazing "Kristen Lavransdatter" Norwegian Trilogy by Sigrid Undset, english translated hardcover box-set edition with slipcase from 1946. Contains three books The Bridal Wreath, The Mistress of Husaby, and The Cross - books themselves are near fine condition like they've hardly been read being protected by slipcase, although previous owner did write their name and date on the pasted-down front page. Slipcase also very nice for its age, the only issues it has some moisture staining and small tear forming at the bottom. 

"The turbulent historical masterpiece of Norway's literary master. In her great historical epic Kristin Lavransdatter, set in 14th-century Norway, Nobel laureate Sigrid Undset tells the life story of one passionate and headstrong woman. Undset immerses listeners in the day-to-day life, social conventions, and political and religious undercurrents of the period. As a young girl, Kristin is deeply devoted to her father, a kind and courageous man. But when as a student in a convent school she meets the charming and impetuous Erlend Nikulausson, she defies her parents in pursuit of her own desires. Her saga continues through her marriage to Erlend, their tumultuous life together raising seven sons as Erlend seeks to strengthen his political influence, and finally their estrangement as the world around them tumbles into uncertainty. With its captivating heroine and emotional potency, Kristin Lavransdatter is the masterwork of Norway's most beloved author - one of the 20th century's most prodigious and engaged literary minds."
