New York: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc, 1940. he simple, beautiful, gripping and moving tale of an Icelandic shepherd, making his 27th annual journey into the bleak and stormy wastes of the mountains to rescue the sheep that have been missed in the yearly gathering. He performs feats of endurance, patience and persistence that are nobly heroic. The character of the simple hero is magnificent. The journey begins on Advent Sunday, a day of beginnings and expectation. Gunnarson's books are of unusual interest because they deal with Iceland - of which few of us know very much. Eight b/w full-page illustrations by "Masha" all in excellent condition. Illustrated dust jacket carries identical illustration as frontispiece. Red cloth boards with gilt to front board and spine.
