Overview
Icebound Summer is one of the classics of outdoor nature writing. The arctic tundra, with its blanket of white, appears to be a lifeless place. However, as the rays of spring sunshine begin to melt the ice, a wildly exuberant natural world comes to life -- if only for a brief summer of activity. Carrighar brings this rich world to life with her stories of the animals that populate this realm. We are transported into an almost magical world of the animals -- living among them and seeing the world from their points of view.Editorials
Library Journal
In this 1953 volume, naturalist Carrighar recounts a summer she spent in the Arctic. Though brief, the season brings great change to the area, converting it into the "polar" opposite of the frozen wasteland that most people imagine as wildlife abounds during the warmer months. This edition is illustrated with numerous black-and-white drawings. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.Book Details
