Who Was Alfred Nobel?
Children's Books2026 · 64 pp · Age 6 - 12

Who Was Alfred Nobel?

Karen Kilane

First book in a brand-new, fully illustrated series of biographies! Alfred Nobel was an inventor. He patented 355 inventions, big and small, throughout his life, the most famous of which was dynamite. But Alfred also invented something completely different: a peace prize! Today, it is the most important peace prize in the world. It is rather strange that the very same man who invented weapons spent his whole life wanting so badly to be of service to others. This biography of Alfred Nobel is an easy-to-read book filled with inventions, loud bangs, humor, and tenderness. It is a story showing that even if life doesn’t always turn out as planned, it can still turn out beautifully. A fully illustrated and accessible book about a fascinating person.

101 Things to do Before You Grow Up

Nils Petter Mørland / Mikkel Niva

You have to learn lots of weird things before you become a grown-up: reading, writing, putting your hand up in class, brushing your teeth, saying “Yes, please” and “No, thank you” and “How are you doing?”. But you’ll learn absolutely NONE of that in 101 things to do Before You Grow up. This book is about all the funny, crazy, exciting, wonderful and magical things you can do in childhood that grownups don’t often get to do. Suggested activities include: Talking in rhyme! Living backwards for a day! Going on holiday at home! Swapping families! Readers are guided through an inventive universe of short texts and colourful illustrations that are bursting with energy, humour and playfulness. The book aims to encourage children to hold onto the unique aspects of childhood that also, oddly enough, help make us better, cooler and more creative grownups later in life.

An Enemy of the People

An Enemy of the People

Kåre Conradi

An Enemy of the People tell the story of Dr Stockmann, who discovers that the bathing water in the city’s spa is contaminated with dangerous bacteria. He expects people to value his discovery and thinks it will help improve the city. Instead, his political enemies try to destroy him, attempting to silence him with threats. Dr Stockmann stands his ground, but at great personal cost, also to his family. An Enemy of the People is a play that outraged people in its day, but that has gained fresh relevance in our own era. This is the first book in a new series for children about the works of Henrik Ibsen. With the aid of illustrations and simplified text suitable for younger readers, the series aims to introduce Ibsen’s plays to new generations all over the world. Ibsen is the world’s second-most performed playwright after Shakespeare. This series will give children an understanding of what Ibsen’s texts are about and what they can teach us today. «In both [An Enemy of the People and Peer Gynt], it is evident that [Conradi] has Ibsen in his backbone. This is precisely why he manages to convey the complex with ease, making him well-equipped to connect with and engage children through these retellings.»BARNEBOKRITIKK.NO

Peer Gynt

Peer Gynt

Kåre Conradi

Peer Gynt, liar extraordinaire, grows up in a valley in Jotunheimen, where he wanders around in the mountains and tells tall tales about the adventures he has there. The life of a Norwegian farmer’s isn’t enough for him: his thirst for adventure and lack of any sense of responsibility drive him out into the big wide world. We follow Peer on his voyage while his devoted mother Åse and his beloved Solveig sit waiting for him to come back home. The play Peer Gynt is a masterwork and a key part of Norway’s cultural heritage. This is the second book in a new series for children about the works of Henrik Ibsen. With the aid of illustrations and simplified text suitable for younger readers, the series aims to introduce Ibsen’s plays to new generations all over the world. Ibsen is the world’s second-most performed playwright after Shakespeare. This series will give children an understanding of what Ibsen’s texts are about and what they can teach us today. «Transforming Peer Gynt's two hundred pages of quick dialogue written in verse into a forty-page picture book is radical in itself. Conradi impressively captures most of the wild Peer's adventures [...]. Throughout the book, one becomes familiar with the entire plot of the play, which is illustrated with a wonderfully adventurous and expressive style by the experienced Ingebjørg F. Mæland.»KLASSEKAMPEN «In both [An Enemy of the People and Peer Gynt], it is evident that [Conradi] has Ibsen in his backbone.

The Turbo Twins and the Mayor’s Evil Plan

Harald Maxmillian Stoltenberg / Robert Stoltenberg

Harald and Robert have settled down pretty well in the countryside. They’ve made some friends at school and spend lots of time with Sigrid, Rudolf and the animals on the next-door farm. But when the twins return to rural life after an unsuccessful autumn break in Oslo, they find that everything is topsy-turvy. The local council has decided to build an enormous motorway in the village and it’s going to pass RIGHT THROUGH Sigrid and Rudolf’s farmyard. Sigrid and Rudolf aren’t convinced by the council’s promise of a new flat above the supermarket with a massage shower and underfloor heating: they don’t want to move and the Turbo Twins have to help them! Harald and Robert decide to stop the council’s plans, but little do they know what the evil village mayor is capable of. How do you even stop a motorway? Can children stand up to adults who are being unfair? And what on earth will happen to the animals if the farm is demolished? The Turbo Twins and the Mayor’s Evil Plan is a hilarious, heart-warming story about being creative, standing up to the powers-that-be and sticking up for other people.
