About the author

Tor Åge Bringsværd was an author, playwright, editor, and translator and is perhaps best known for his speculative fiction. Together with long-time partner Jon Bing, he was also considered the first Norwegian author to write science fiction literature. Bringsværd regarded himself as an anarchist, which is clearly reflected in some of his works. He is also known for his distinctive style of writing, for example, his seemingly random jumps to narratives or anecdotes with no clear relationship to the main story.

Reviews

[Ásdís Hafrún]

Þór þrumuguð og hafrarnir; smádvergur og búálfar; einhöfða tröll og tvíhöfða tröll og mýs og málverk koma við sögu.
Það er dálítið krefjandi að þýða norska túristakynningarsögu fyrir fimm ára hlustanda en með því að fara hratt yfir upptalningu á helstu sögustöðum og safnamálum er þetta áhugavert persónugallerý fyrir unga lesendur.
Ætti kannski að fá þrjár stjörnur en missir eina fyrir að gera tröllin of lík gæludýrum.
