Short description

Eulalia, the flying girl who taught me how to get lost and enjoy it, lived in an old abandoned house in the woods one summer a whole lot of years ago. Weird, she was, but in the nicest way... She used to say that she was "the laughter and the silence around it" and "that thing you never missed 'til you found it". And it's sure hard to describe her better - but in this book I've tried my very best.

She used to say that she was `the laughter and the silence around it´ and `that thing you never missed until you found it´. And it's sure hard to describe her better - but in this book I've tried my very best."

Eulalia Starwind is a fairytale for all ages. Readers young and old have been blown away by this story about a boy on summer vacations with his grandmother on a small island in the Baltic Sea - and about his make-believe (?) friend. It's a heart-rending yet hopeful tale of friendship between and within generations, of loneliness and imagination, of mystery and the power of language. Or as Kalle, 7, stated: "This is even better than Roald Dahl!..

Niklas Aurgrunn, the author, is the now middle-aged dreamer who has been looking for Eulalia ever since that summer when he was seven years old. He says he still does not know how to fly but does consider himself quite the expert lost-getter.
