Gary Paulsen was in his forties, an internationally famous children's writer. Then he was overtaken by his passion - a passion for Alaskan dog-racing and a passion for the wild, beautiful landscape of the Arctic. Winterdance is the story of this passion. It is a powerful, almost unbelievable adventure, told with humour, pathos, vitality and excitement. Beautiful, funny and laconic, it is a book about men and dogs and their souls. 'An unputdownable celebration of the human spirit' Sunday Express

Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod--the 1150-mile winter sled-dog race between Anchorage and Nome-- in dangerous ignorance and with a fierce determination. Winterdance is his account of this seventeen-day battle against Nature's worst elements and his own frailty.
Gary Paulsen is an American writer, perhaps best known for coming of age stories about nature and the wilderness. He is the author of more than 200 books, numerous short stories and several plays. He won the MARGARET EDWARDS AWARD from the American Library Association in 1997.
