About Me

Barbara Sjoholm: I've traveled in and written about the Nordic countries and Sápmi for many years, and have published numerous books about the North, including translations, travel narratives, and cultural history. Most recently I translated By the Fire, a collection of Sámi folktales, many told by women, collected and illustrated by the Danish ethnographer and artist, Emilie Demant Hatt (1873-1958). The University of Minnesota Press will publish a new book in February, 2023, From Lapland to Sápmi: Collecting and Returning Sámi Craft and Culture, with stories of Sámi objects and their makers over the centuries. www.barbarasjoholm.com has more about all my books. I also write mysteries under the name Barbara Wilson. See www.barbarawilsonmysteries for more about them.
