Den gamle mannen og hvalen

Stian Hole

This is a clever story in text and pictures about Cornelius who lives with his cat, Trass, far up in the north, where the sea and mountains meet. Halvor, Cornelius’ brother, lives nearby. The brothers are bitter enemies and they haven’t spoken to each other for many years. But one day Cornelius finds a whale stranded on the beach. He can’t manage to free the large mammal. How can he get the whale back into the sea? The book is both traditional and original. The beautiful illustrations have strong, clear colours and lots of exciting details to get engrossed in.
