The Icelandic Forestry Association's Skógræktarritið 2006 cover features a painting from Gunnella's second book, How the Ladies Stopped the Wind. Coincidentally, her book explains why there are so few trees in the Icelandic countryside. This is the annual booklet from Skógræktarfélag Íslands, the Icelandic Forestry Association, the organization to encourage forestry in Iceland. | ||
