The Goblins Association

The Goblins Association

Bjørn F. Rørvik

The Goblin Association (Nisseforeningen) is the seventh picture book about Fox and Piglet. Papp the farty goblin has joined an association, "Goblins without Borders". He’s a little bit anxious about his first meeting, and would like Fox and Piglet to go with him, even though they aren’t goblins. The meeting doesn’t go quite as Papp the fool had thought. But after a while, he is very satisfied, especially after he wins a lovely prize. The book is absurd and realistic and, quite simply, wonderful! Bjørn F. Rørvik and Per Dybvig have created a fantastic universe where Fox and Piglet are in the centre. They received the Norwegian Ministry of Arts and Science picture book award for their books about Fox and Piglet in 2005.

The Sign of the Fairies 1

Sigbjørn Mostue

During the sommer holidays, Espen and his mother leaves for grandpa's farm. But grandpa's memory has gone a bit fuzzy, and Espen's uncle now runs the farm. To grandpa's raging protests, uncle Svein now plans to cut down the entire Old Forest. After a strike of lightning, Espen discovers across a very special key in the forest. The key takes Espen to another world: a parallel reality where the scenery looks the same, but where trees, animals and birds can speak, and where pixies, elves, goblins and wraiths appear. But there are dangers lurking in the shadows. If the Old Forest is destroyed, the elves will be defenseless from the Grave Boyg, who wishes to end their kind. The elves have chosen Espen as their champion, but he is reluctant. He has always gone round about any problems. But what the forces of evil do not now, is that there is a girl standing behind him: Eva. The Mystic Key is the intensely exciting first book of the Sign of the faries trilogy: a stunning Norwegian fantasy that will kick your nerves into high grear and prove that the time of fairytales are far from over.The series has sold over 30 000 copies and won the Ark Children's Book Prize. «A great mix of horror and suspense - for young people and adults alike."Hamar Arbeiderblad

The Devil Tooth
Children's Books2004 · 112 pp · Age 6 - 9

The Devil Tooth

Gro Dahle

A good thrill for children who are staring to loose their teeth, and everyone else. A juicy and lushly disgusting book about life underground. Never before have you read a tooth-pulling story like this one! This book is filled with slimy and disgusting details about beings that creep and crawls, and about big and small devils. It's also very much about loosing teeth, about horrible mothers and understanding grandmothers, slightly feeble dads and terrible older brothers. And not least about the dream of a soft, soft pillow to rest your head on, such a pillow that legend says that humans have. We people who read this book get to know a lot of strange things about what really moves under our feet, deep down there in the narrow, sulphur-smelling passages of the underground. But if you are very afraid of going to the dentist, you should probably stay away from this book. Unless you're looking for a good thrill!
