Kurt Courier

Norwegian title: Kurt kurér

Illustrated by Kim Hiorthøy

At last, another book about the fork truck driver Kurt! This time, rebels want to divide Norway into two parts and Kurt has to line up as Gunnar’s courier. His task is to deliver a super-important letter to Gunnar’s brother Bodvar, who is tied up at a quayside somewhere near the Russian border. Kurt is thrown into a near-fatal run of events, what with treachery, deprivation and the constant struggle to find working batteries for the truck.
