Beskrivelse

A captivating short story set in Stavanger, Norway, weaving together its rich history and folklore with vivid, enchanting imagery. The narrative connects ancient times to the present, exploring the city’s unique heritage through spellbinding characters and mystical elements.

An immersive tale blending Stavanger’s past and present with myth, history, and folklore.

The White City takes you on a journey through Stavanger’s history, from a 12,400-year-old polar bear found in Finnøy to the bustling modern oil industry. It introduces unforgettable figures like Harald Fairhair, the Viking Age’s notorious ladies’ man who united Norway.

The story draws inspiration from Stavanger’s sagas, folk tales, beliefs, and museum exhibits, bringing them to life in a fresh, modern folk tale. It even hints at the origins of the city’s name and the distinctive white colour of its houses.

Presented as the second volume in a series of contemporary Nordic folk tales, The White City follows the first book, The Salmon King, set in Gøtugjógv in the Faroe Islands. Both volumes are available in English and Danish, featuring vibrant illustrations by Unna Hvid that enrich the storytelling experience.
