The Underground Tree
Kristina Sigunsdotter & Jenny Lucander
The August Prize–winning author Kristina Sigunsdotter and the Nordic Council Prize–winning illustrator Jenny Lucander have together created a masterful picture book for readers of all ages, where text and image intertwine into a tale that breathes poetry and adventure.
When Karin plays hide-and-seek in the park, she discovers a strange tree. The tree turns out to be a portal to the underworld. Here Karin meets the soothsayer, who foretells that she must journey to Eagle Mountain to rescue the princess without a name. Together with the horse Rosendelid, she sails on a ghost ship across the Sea of Glass to embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
Karin Boye was born in 1900, and is one of the greatest poets the Nordic countries have ever known. The story draws inspiration from her life and poetic world.
