"The Laplander Goose" is a fable--the story of an old woman, the goose she loves so dearly, a type of magic that promises to make life very easy, and an unfortunate turn of events that has made things very, very difficult. Set in the far northern parts of Scandinavia, "The Laplander Goose" is a tender and heartfelt story of the sometimes-unexpected paths taken by love, and at the same time it can be taken as a parable on the careful use of environment, technology and other types of magic. This story will appeal to young and mature readers alike.
