Great Significance for Norwegian Readers
Gunilla Bergström is considered one of the Nordic region’s greatest picture book creators, and the books about Albert Åberg have been loved by generations of children. In Norway alone, over 1.5 million copies have been sold. Sara Rudeng, Editor-in-Chief for Brands at Cappelen Damm, emphasizes the importance of the new release for Norwegian readers.

— “It’s a major event that today’s children get to read a new story about Albert Åberg in addition to the classics. The books are at the child’s eye level, with timeless everyday stories that everyone can relate to, and that’s likely part of the secret behind their success. As Gunilla herself said: ‘For me, reality is magical enough. I want to tell true stories about real people,’” says Rudeng.
