LITTLE ERIK OF SWEDEN

As a child I sang with every step I took, and with every jump my feet made. —Jenny Lind.
Erik sang as he skated across the lake. The lake glistened with chill, bluish crispness like steel.
It was as natural for Erik to sing as it was for most little boys to breathe. Sometimes it seemed that he had the throat of a bird.
