Milford Library Hosts This Land of Snow Author Talk

Every journey begins with a single step, or in Anders Morley’s case, the shush of cross-country skis. For as long as he could remember, Morley dreamed of taking a very long walk. In his thirties, happily married and living in a faraway country but pining for the silent and snowy winters of his New Hampshire home, he decided to unite his old dream with his equally long-standing love of winter. Fourteen months later, just as the snow was starting to fall, he set off alone to spend the four coldest months of the year traveling on skis across the half-wild country of northwestern Canada. 

The result of that excursion is his new book, This Land of Snow. Morely will be sharing parts of his book and tales of his adventures on September 14 at 7pm via Zoom. Milford Library invites one and all to the event.

A dual-citizen of the US and Canada, Anders Morley grew up in New Hampshire and began skiing at age five. After earning a master's degree from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, he settled in Italy where he worked as a translator and English teacher, and explored the Alps in his free time. He contributes regularly to New Hampshire magazine and his work has appeared in a variety of other publication, including The Globe and Mail, Woodlands magazine, Maisonneuvemagazine, and The Aurorean. Morley lives in northern New Hampshire.
