Manni has since passed on during his studies, Nonni is now the Reverend Jon Svensson S. J. The boys had wished to become Jesuit missionaries, like St. Francis Xavier, yet Jon Svensson has spent most of his career as either a student or instructor in academia. Still longing to fulfill his dream of being a missionary he has volunteered to travel to Iceland to care for the souls of his fellow countrymen. ...

Nonni and his younger brother Manni are Icelandic boys who live in the charming town of Akureyri which sits by the Eyjafjörður fjord in North Iceland. Nonni is curious about many things yet sometimes forgetful of his parents' warnings, while Manni is quite innocent and pure of heart and loyal toward Nonni. Thinking he can lure the fish out of the sea with his magic flute playing Nonni, with trusting Manni at his side, sets out upon the great Eyjafjörður fjord in a small row boat in order to try. Great adventures follow in this classic and true story of friendship and faith (www.c2op.com).
