Winterdance

An adventure of Alaskan dog-racing and of the Arctic landscape

The very best of true-life adventure writing ... 'I loved it, and loved the man who wrote it' Laura Thompson, Sunday Times 'Beautiful and very funny' Washington Post 'In a rapidly shrinking world there can be few stories of genuinely original adventure still to be written. Winterdance may prove to be one of the last, but also one of the best' Time Out 'Paulsen has given us a wonderful story, full of humour, pathos, adventure, seat-gripping excitement' Glasgow Herald

Description

Gary Paulsen was in his forties, an internationally famous children's writer. Then he was overtaken by his passion—a passion for Alaskan dog racing and a passion for the wild, beautiful landscape of the Arctic.

Winterdance is the story of this passion. It is a powerful, almost unbelievable adventure, told with humour, pathos, vitality and excitement. Beautiful, funny and laconic, it is a book about men and dogs and their souls.
