About this product

Product Information

For the first two years of her life, Kari Herbert lived with her mother and father, the explorer Sir Wally Herbert, among the Inuit people in the vast snowy wastes of the High Arctic. Her first words were Inuktun, her first friends, the children of hunters, and the pull of the place and its people lured the family back several times during her childhood. Then in 2002 she returned to the Arctic alone. The Explorer's Daughter tells the story of her return to this place of savage beauty, where her childhood friends still hunt with ferocious huskies and eat bloody whale meat; and where she rediscovers a compelling world where light and darkness dominate life, and where past and present uneasily coexist.
