P.V. Glob (1911–1985) was the Director General of Museums and
Antiquities for the State of Denmark and Director of the National
Museum in Copenhagen. Although his professional interest took him
from Greenland to the Arabian Gulf, his most sustained study was of
his native country. In addition to The Bog People, Glob published
numerous anthropological works including Denmark: An Archaeological
History from the Stone Age to the Vikings and Mound People: Danish
Bronze-Age Man Preserved.

A fascinating account of the discoveries and of what they tell us
about the life and death of the Iron Age people.
— Times Literary Supplement
Glob deserves gratitude not only for preserving these astonishing
underground survivors physically, but for a fascinating exposition
of their way of life.
— Daily Telegraph
A splendid book, full of detail and fascination not only for the
specialist, who would indeed benefit from reading it, but for
anyone interested in the techniques and results of first-rate
archaeological research.
