CATCHING UP #1

“Enough Iceland.”
“Why Iceland?”

“More pictures.”
“I like the pictures.”

“Did Charlie take all the pictures?” Yes.

Fig. #11. North Atlantic anywhere in spirit; Marshall Point Lighthouse in fact.

Okay, I get the idea. I’m through with Iceland — for the moment.*

Of the Iceland books I just read, David Gibbins’ Crusader Gold is the only must purchase for Roseledge Books. It REALLY covers the North Atlantic and has a nugget in the Notes which ties it to Tenants Harbor because TH is on Penobscot Bay. I’m not going to say more than that about that. Yes, it has Notes, which makes sense when a PhD in Archaeology decides to write a novel. I love this book for it’s balance of documentation and speculation.

*This holds only until the book read and reviewed by commenter Mary Wagner is available in paperback. Any mention of the Irish priests in Iceland — before the Vikings? — is a must read.
