Synopsis
Over a century ago, a twelve year old girl walked 120 kms to Reykjavik to persuade the King to help her. Her journey lasted two weeks; two weeks of wild snow storms, skin-blistering winds and deadly clouds of volcanic ash. This is her story.
The British plan to put a dam on Gullfoss, a magnificent waterfall in Iceland, but Sigríður plans to stop them. Setting off to see the King, she must face scalding pools of hot mud, a scary wolf-man and the most evil of assassins, the ruthless Scarecrow, who must stop her at all costs.
Based on the Gullfoss Legends, this is a story for anybody who has battled but refused to give up.

Dazzling!

From the Author
My name is Billy Bob Buttons and I'm the author of a new children's book called The Gullfoss Legends. The book is loosely based on the legend of Sigríður Tómasdóttir and her fight to save Gullfoss waterfall in Iceland in the early 1900s.
The book was written with the expert help of Professor Helgi Skúli Kjartansson, Professor of History at the University of Iceland and is fully illustrated by the award winning illustrator, Teri Smyth.
Reviewers on Kidzbookclub.com described the book as `DAZZLING!' and on Bookbuzz they wrote `The story telling skill of J K Rowling and the wit of Roald Dahl.'
The book is superbly presented in hardback with a dustjacket designed by the Canadian artist, Cody Chancellor.
I hope you enjoy it!
