Critically acclaimed writer: Torbjørn Ekelund's books have been reviewed and
praised in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and
the Toronto Star, among other outlets.
Highlights the joys and struggles of parenthood: In poignant prose, Ekelund
describes the experience of watching his son go out into the world for the first
time.
Inspired by a historical mystery: Ekelund and his son retrace the steps of 6
year old Hans Torske, who disappeared in Norway's Skrim mountains in 1894-a
story that has haunted Ekelund for years.
A love letter to children and nature: Includes insights into how children
experience nature differently from adults.
Engaging and powerful writing: Humble, self-deprecating, warmly observant,
and compassionate, Ekelund infuses seemingly insignificant moments, such as
sitting out rainy weather or setting up camp, with value and meaning.
