Father/Son - Everyday life
We become acquainted with an episode of childhood in Iceland when Karl
Agnar and his sister spend an evening alone with their father because their
mother has gone out. In accord with a familiar motif, father, a teacher, must
come to terms with an unaccustomed activity. And along the way we learn
something of Iceland’s way of life. The several colored pictures which
illustrate the book are done in modest realism; outstanding children’s book
illustrators are seldom found in this small country. (6+)
