After the four critically acclaimed and award-winning first books, The bedtime book,The book of Tales, The book of Comfort and The Monster Book, the authors of this book have moved the stories away from the everyday and into universes full of fabulous fantasy creatures.
Here you will meet spools of thread that talk, diving bells that walk on land and Vesle who has never seen anything as strange as a human being. And if you have not met either a grumbleback or a gruntback before, you will get to know them here.
The book of Fantasies is the fifth and final book in the series of newly written norwegian nynorsk stories – the anthologies that have gradually become classics and collectors' items in many homes. The books are for the whole family and work both for reading aloud and for self-reading.
This time too, the book is illustrated by Gunvor Rasmussen, who for the first time has also written her own story.
A complete and holistic visual universe. Different sizes and the placement of the illustrations provide a varied and exciting expression. The choice of paper supports the illustration expression, and the typographical techniques contribute to good readability for the target group.
Overall, a thoroughly elaborate series, both in content and style, and which has become a collector's item in many homes where they know how to value quality, even for children. […] A fabulous illustrator!
One of the best books of the year: – Each story is in itself an example of imagination, some at the same time manage to show us the power of imagination more explicitly. Maria Parr's contribution, "Vesle and the Cheese doodle Magic", is worth the book alone.
