How to chop, stack and dry wood...doesn't sound interesting, does it?
Well you'll be surprised because a book on this very subject - Norwegian Wood: Chopping, Stacking and Drying Wood the Scandinavian Way - is selling like hotcakes.
In fact, it's doing so well that Radio Four is featuring is as 4's Book of the Week over Christmas.
In Norway it is on the best-seller list (selling 300,000 copies a year.
It's been translated into 10 different languages.
A review on Amazon:
"First things first, I really enjoyed this book and I would thoroughly recommend getting a copy. I found it engaging, readable and, if nothing else, lovely dark winter evening escapism from things I was supposed to be doing. I also learned some new stuff that, while it might not translate perfectly into a UK setting, could become very useful. I particularly liked the "stoking from the top" method of firelighting and look forward to trying it out."
