Smile of the Midsummer Night

Lars Gustafsson and Agneta Blomqvist have written a very personal guide to their Swedish homeland. Setting off from the far South their journey leads them all the way up to Norrland, from the farms of Scania to Laponian, a UNESCO World heritage site. But it is the idyllic fjord in Bohuslan, in the Vastmanland region, as well as Malar Lake and Stockholm that they call home. Alive with their many, varied interests and full of entertaining suggestions for excursions from journeys across the forests and moors to collect berries and mushrooms, taking in the odd elk or wolf along the way, to visiting Strindberg and the grave of Kurt Tucholsky, "A Midsummer Night s Sun" is a knowledgeable, loving and poetic and a must have for all the fans of Sweden.
