Summer Light- A Walk Across Norway
Maybe a bit off-topic, but there are a lot of Norwegians and fans of Norwegian outdoor life on this newsgroup. Summer Light: A Walk Across Norway Author: Andrew Stevenson ISBN: 1864503475 Published by Lonely Planet(2002) While searching for something else, I came across a collection of book reviews (some English, some Norwegian) for SUMMER LIGHT at: "http://www.awstevenson.com/SL%20review.htm" The book is about the author's month-long hike across Norway. The review from AFTENPOSTEN (Norway's leading daily) is most interesting- a foreigner writing about Norway gets a very favourable review from native Norwegians: ... If you have not discovered what an exciting and magic land we live in, you should read "Summer Light" ... he describes Norway as an outdoor paradise nearly to good to be true There is a comment about Stevenson liking Norwegian chocolate and bread- I'll second that! Has anybody read this? It is listed on several on-line bookstores (such as Amazon and Chapters-Indigo), but I decided to support our local independent bookstore and ordered it through it. When book gets here I may write another note about it. -- David Dermott , Wolfville Ridge, Nova Scotia, Canada email: WWW pages: http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/dermott/ |
