Description
Terrified Tourists is Vala Hafstad’s humorous account of a trip to Iceland. “We must not have been sane or sober when deciding to come in October,” the narrator admits. The weather is rotten, the roads icy, and a volcanic eruption is imminent. The guide tells no uplifting stories, only ones involving “sculls that were split and throats that were viciously slit.” No wonder the group needs a drink every night. This is Vala Hafstad’s third book and is based on her own experience as a tourist guide in Iceland. Ari Hlynur Gudmundsson Yates ingeniously captures the tourists’ fear in his humorous illustrations.
Vala Hafstad is an Icelandic poet who lived in the US for decades. In recent years, she has worked as a tourist guide in Iceland.
Ari Hlynur Gudmundsson Yates is an award-winning Icelandic illustrator and writer based in Denmark. He has illustrated numerous books.
