Dan Richards Boeken

Waarom worden we aangetrokken door afzondering en wildernis? En wat is het met sommige plekken en landschappen dat ze schrijvers, kunstenaars en musici hebben geïnspireerd en nog steeds inspireren? In dit boek gaat Dan Richards op zoek naar buitenposten, naar plekken waar stilte, afzondering, avontuur of spiritualiteit te vinden zijn. In de voetsporen van avonturiers en stiltezoekers reist hij van het Cairngormgebergte in Schotland naar de woeste natuur van IJsland. Hij bezoekt ijskoude spooksteden in Spitsbergen, Shinto-heiligdommen in Japan, de woestijn van Utah, maar ook de schrijfhut van Roald Dahl en een in de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan gelegen vuurtoren. Richards schrijft zo verleidelijk, tijdens het lezen voel je doorlopend de behoefte zelf een rugzak om te gorden en op pad te gaan.

A twisted fairy tale about a king and queen who wish for a child of their own ... and end up with a baby goat. Perfect for readers of Children Make Terrible Pets and Wolfie the Bunny. Once upon a time, a very prim and proper king and queen begged their fairy godmother for a child. They'd prefer a boy, with glowing skin, bright eyes, and two roses for lips ... but any kid will do. When they find themselves gifted with a baby goat (also known as a kid) instead, they can't imagine how he'll fit into their lives. But of course, it isn't long before he's part of the royal family. Readers will delight in this story's hilarity, confusion, and celebration of families that come in every shape and size
