About Jon Sveinsson S. J. Books

This thrilling story "A Journey Across Iceland" was written by the famous Icelandic author of children's books and Jesuit Jon Sveinsson. He was born on November 16, 1857, at a farmstead in North Iceland. When he was a boy his nickname was "Nonni" and that is why the 12 books about his adventures and experiences are called the "Nonni books." During the twentieth century readers of all ages throughout the world devoured the stories of his adventures and the Nonni books became bestsellers - published in approximately 40 languages. This is the first ever publication as a book in English of this story of Jon Sveinsson's journey back to Iceland as a Jesuit priest.
