Section: Childrens-Classics

During an orienteering race, twelve-year-old Erik Dahlquist is lured off course to snap photos of a little wren on her nest. He loses his bearings until spotting a familiar landmark, the red hut on the cliff by the sea. It's Gunnar Eklund's place—the reclusive old fisherman, who is said to not take kindly to trespassers. After a brief God Afton, the two strike up a friendship. Later, it turns out old Gunnar has good advice for Erik when his know-it-all cousin Bertil arrives from Stockholm to stay for the summer. Join the Dahlquists and learn Swedish customs as they celebrate the holidays.
