The Little Puffling

This story is based on actual events that have taken place every year in
Vestmannaeyjar from times the oldest inhabitants can remember. The
story is about the early life of a puffling and the many adventures it encounters from
the moment it breaks out of its egg until it is rescued by children in the town and
returned to the sea. The author of the story is Hilmir Högnason, father of eight and electrician by trade. Hilmar was born on 27th August 1923 in Vestmannaeyjar, and this is his second book. He previously published an anthology of poetry called Vatnsdals
Hilmir er og verður til. Hilmir is the son of farmer Högni Sigurðsson from Vatnsdalur, Vestmannaeyjar, and Guðny Magnúsdóttir from North Búðarholtshjáleiga in
the Landeyjar area.  Hilmir has lived in Vestmannaeyjar all his life, with the exception
of the year he was forced to flee his home due to the volcanic eruption on Heimaey. Hilmir rescued pufflings as a young boy and later taught his own children to do the same.
