Default 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.
