Dormice & Moonshine: Falling for Slovenia
British author Sam Baldwin’s engaging travel memoir reads like a love letter to Slovenia. After buying and restoring a 300-year-old mountain cabin, Baldwin chronicles his deepening connection with the country — from navigating local bureaucracy and learning Slovene to meeting a colorful cast of characters, exploring wild landscapes, and discovering the quirks of everyday life beyond the usual tourist spots. The account offers both humor and heartfelt insight into what makes Slovenia unique, making it a great companion read before visiting. As one Amazon reviewer put it, “Baldwin offers a treasure trove of Slovenian culture in a witty, easy-to-read package.”
I Saw Her That Night
A young woman from Ljubljana disappears in the turmoil surrounding Yugoslavia during World War II. In 2011, the celebrated Slovenian author won the European Prize for Literature, presented to an author for their entire body of work, which best represents the cultural dimensions of Europe. (Recommended by H.E. Božo Cerar, Slovenian ambassador to the U.S., in CN Traveler.)
