The Book of Tales
Stories in norwegian nynorsk

Have you heard of the stomping troll who just wanted to dance? Or the hug-loving dodidodicreature? Ever seen a real kvapserumpe?

This colorful and imaginative storybook is packed with 19 brand-new fairy tales in norwegian Nynorsk. Some authors reimagine classic tales with a modern twist, while others create entirely new adventures. The stories grow in depth and complexity as the book progresses, making it perfect for both young and older readers.

Richly illustrated by Gunvor Rasmussen, this is a magical follow-up to the hit The bedtime Book (2007).

Ideal for children aged 6 and up – great for reading aloud or on their own.
