Norwegian Wood

Who knew there was so much to be said about chopping and stacking wood? This was a very informative guide to the subject and its history, especially in the Nordic regions. Fascinating, but as I don't have a wood stove maybe not the most useful for me! Nonetheless, for a book on such an apparently niche subject this is very approachable, engagingly written and perhaps it will encourage me to get a wood stove in the end (I do kind of want one...)

An excellent practical guide, but more than that; an insight into Scandinavian history and approach to life.
