Reviews
PRAISE FOR THE FAR TRAVELER "[A] snappily written biography . . . In surprising flashes, Gudrid comes into focus. Brown pursues Gudrid out of admiration for a woman bold and wise. I eagerly pursued this book, which is as much about Brown's adventures as Gudrid's, for the very same reasons."--The New York Times Book Reivew

"Brown's enthusiasm is infectious as she re-teaches us our history."--The Boston Globe
