Reseña del libro "Amazing Finland (Margot Likes to Travel) (en Inglés)"
In the current (132-page) account, Margot (a French erudite girl from Castillon-la-Bataille) earns a travel grant as the winner of the Scandinavia History Quiz. Visiting Finland, Margot is privileged for staying with a friendly family in a modern timber-cottage at the Baltic Sea coast. With the guide of the loving host, she learns what the Finns mostly like and dislike, spectates the daunting phenomenon of the midnight sun (Aurora Borealis) in the real Santa Claus Village (Lapland), tries husky-sled safari, lake cruises, snowmobile rides, Finnish sauna, ice-swimming, skiing, and of course, the impeccable Finnish cuisine and , folk dances. Finland's suits of protective forests makes this country an iconic hiking destination. Sledding with a team of huskies over the thick white blanket, makes Margot fathom about life in the middle of winter wilderness. Aside the brown bear (Finland's national animal) greeting her in the hiking trails, Margot also spends a great deal of time in the capital Helsinki, a city that always has a festival to suit, whether you are a baroque-fun or a rock- aficionado. Written in stanza (verse) form and intensely illustrated, this tour-guide is a valuable addition to Margot's other adventures in Lecco (Italy), Madeira (Portugal) and Novo Mesto (Slovenia).
