Review by Horn Book Review

This imaginative tale follows young Ola, who skis away from his forest home and encounters animals, other children, a wedding party, a peddler trading with an indigenous tribe, and Arctic fishermen who share folktales with him. In this well-designed reissue, Scandinavian culture comes alive in the decorative simplicity of the detailed black-and-white and color illustrations and lyrical text by these master storytellers.
