Children of the Northlights - Hardcover Book
From the beloved authors of Book of Norse Myths and other classics comes a new edition of one of their most beguiling children's books: long out of print, Children of the Northlights introduces readers young and old to siblings Lise and Lasse and to the unique Sami people and culture of northern Scandinavia. At times mischievous and at others quite courageous, Lise and Lasse, and their Sami culture, are brought brilliantly to life in the captivating text and illustrations of Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire.
Inspired directly by a remarkable journey the d'Aulaires took to northern Europe and their time spent living among the Sami, Children of the Northlights is a brightly illustrated portrait and celebration of the Sami people and the snow-covered landscapes of the frozen north from two of the twentieth century's greatest storytellers.
