For Didda and her sisters, life in the remote fjords of Iceland was one of danger, hard work and joy. Trolls and Hidden Folk were as real as the struggles with Iceland's meanest cow and sheep shearing skirmishes. This enchanting story of a strong-willed young girl viewing life as a great adventure while facing the realities of fear and death was inspired by the author's own childhood experience.This unique story parallels the memoir, Growing Up Viking: Fond Memories of Iceland, also available from Hekla Publishing. The author's description of Iceland provide the reader with such realistic detail the landscape comes alive.
