A vintage children’s travel and adventure novel by English writer Garry Hogg (1902-1976).  A direct sequel to Hogg’s earlier novel, Sealed Orders,  it follows the adventures of Pen, Nat and Jonty as they travel across Norway – the trip is the prize they won for successfully completing the challenges set out in Sealed Orders.
