Two Little Knights

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The princess has gone missing – has she been kidnapped by the dragon? Sir Rosebush and Sir Bang are sent off to bring her back. But it isn’t as easy as you might think. The Princess always causes so much fuss, and the dragon isn’t exactly a cuddly toy… and besides, Rosebush has just polished his sword. Maybe they should just drop the whole thing?That’s when Bang gets a text from the king – with dungeon emojis and all. No, it looks as if they’ll just have to get the job done!This is a book about courage and heroic deeds, about getting dressed up and a little bit about not being all that bothered about princesses – or girls in general.Meet Sir Rosebush and Sir Bang – two good friends who think it’s a bit scary to be knights!«… a fun book with an important message: that knights can very well care for makeup and leopard prints, while princesses maybe don’t always have to be so pink and princess-like.»Barnebokkritikk.no (NO)Modern knights in a colorful world«Two little knights is a fairytale story with classical signifiers, but also a welcome update to the gallery of literary personas in children’s fiction, and the restrictive roles that knights, princesses and dragons have been dealt throughout history. The result is a fun, literary love song to what makes us all unique. But at the same time, resting on the insight that we are very much the same, after all.»Dagens Nyheter (SE)

The Billy Goats Gruff Go to the Mediterranean

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Once upon a time there were three billy goats called the Billy Goats Gruff. All winter long, they’d scraped and saved because this year they were going to the Mediterranean. The biggest Billy Goat Gruff found a place that was cheap and cheerful. So they packed their bathing trunks and sunglasses – and their water pistol, in case there were any trolls in the Mediterranean. But of course there weren’t. Because trolls are allergic to sunlight, aren’t they…? The latest reunion with the Billy Goats Gruff is great fun and just the right amount of scary. «Rørvik and Moursund have found the recipe for success. They take the familiar and create laugh-out-loud surprises when they mix old and new. (...) Gry Moursund exhibits a wonderful combination of cute and scary in her colourful drawings. (...) Rørvik also likes details. He plays with language and clearly takes into account that this text should be read aloud. It should come to life when performed by an adult.»NRK

Can’t you tie your own shoelaces? Can’t you make your own sandwiches? Mum says she’s lucky to have the Strange Man – she says he’s nice and the child can talk to him as well. But the child doesn’t want to, because he’s strange. Mum has to go away for a few days and the Strange Man will be staying at home to look after the child. When they’re left to themselves, they have to talk to each other. The Strange Man becomes the Man Who Lives Here Now and then Morten.
