About the Author
Fran Parnell's passion for Scandinavia began while studying for a masters degree in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic. Initial brushes with Old Norse left her swearing at the grammar book, but a strange slideshow featuring sublime Icelandic mountains and a matter-of-fact man who'd literally dug his own grave awakaned a fascination with Iceland that has just kept on growing. Since then, Fran has returned to the country as often as finances have allowed and, when not in Iceland, can read, think and dream of little else. Fran has also worked on Lonely Planet's guides to Scandinavian Europe, Sweden and Reykjavik.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent, reliable guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Iceland (Paperback)
I've just returned from Iceland -- deemed the most expensive country in the world after Japan -- and I was able to keep costs down and still have fun with the help of this guide. There is a thorough section on budget accommodation, as well as many fine suggestions for dining out (which can quickly add up to the cost of a 3rd-world country's national debt if you're not careful). I also appreciated the elongated history section, which was much more thorough than in the previous edition. In general, costs and descriptions were extremely accurate, and the suggested iterneraries excellent. I cannot recommend this guide over all others enough.

Iceland Travel,
This review is from: Lonely Planet Iceland 7th Ed.: 7th Edition (Paperback)
Sufficient information about Iceland.For seniors, characters in the book small especially those on the maps make it difficult to read. Colour photos show the beauty of Iceland.

3.0 out of 5 stars
totally misleading title: nothing on Greenland/Faroes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Iceland (Paperback)
I bought this book for a trip to Greenland, and there is no information about Greenland in it at all. Evidently all the Greenland & Faroes information has been eliminated from this edition. I am off to look for a 2nd hand copy of the previous edition.
