Lost in the Fjord: the Adventures of Two Icelandic Boys Jon Sveinsson

Nonni and his younger brother Manni are Icelandic boys who live in the charming town of Akureyri which sits by the Eyjafjörður Fjord in northern Iceland. Nonni is curious about many things yet forgetful of his parents' warnings, while Manni is quite innocent and pure of heart and loyal toward Nonni. Thinking he can lure the fish out of the sea with his magic flute playing Nonni, with trusting Manni at his side, sets out upon the Eyjafjörður Fjord in a small row boat in order to try. Great adventures follow in this classic and true story of virtue and vocation. Written by Iceland's first Jesuit priest this book features an extensive "About the Author" section.
