FROM THE CRITICS
Kate Roberts
The real strength of Icy Pleasures is in its descriptions and depictions of Minnesotans at their wintry best. There is a surprising and pleasing amount of character development in this book, as Larson captures the personalitites of the movers and shakers, curlers and skaters who have peopled winter celebrations over the years. -- Minnesota History
