Norway"Barbara Øvstedal writes almost as much of the people as of the land and the sea : of their history and houses, their churches, palaces, food and culture as well as of spectacular mountains, the midnight sun, fjords, lakes, the tundra and the cities -- Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim. There is a wealth of inside knowledge on such matters as travelling, skiing, fishing or peasant crafts alongside anecdotes about Ibsen, Munch and Grieg."--Inside front jacket. |
