A real treasure

This is a story to be read out loud to children and adults, with a charming and delightful story, as well as lovely illustrations. We enjoy sharing this story with all our friends (young and old) who enjoy fanciful tales about our beautiful wild lands.

A Sit-Together-and-Cuddle Book!

After seeing this book read on a children's show, I knew that my son and I would adore feeling the magic of this family story. I was right! The illustrations evoke a sense of quiet not unlike the snow itself, and the end leaves us eager to listen to some of our own family stories.

An excellent store of folklore, a boy and his grandad

This is a book that explores the nature of folk stores told by a grandad, that no one, not even the grandad are sure is true. It is works with the notion that many of our folklores well are they just folk stores?? Not to be outdone are the illustrations of the book. The northernlights in this book sometimes seemed to dance on the pages. The illustrations of the book are some of the best.
