From the Back Cover:
Anne Ipsen's memoir of her Danish childhood during World War II is bathed in the light of summer evenings and loving parents. Her family cherished traditions and clung to normalcy despite the menace of the Nazi occupation and a world rocked by a savage war.
"My memories are vivid images like those of a medieval tapestry, woven from the fine threads of everyday life. They are filled with the colorful mille fleurs from a happy childhood and a white unicorn of fantasy encircled by family, but with an ominous backdrop of hunters in green--German soldiers."
