Happy Times in Norway by Sigrid Undset

Happy Times in Norway by Sigrid Undset

Happy Times in Norway is a moving and delicately humorous picture of Undset’s own blissful home life before her nation fell to the Nazi occupation. Captured here is the excitement of a Norwegian Christmas, the Seventeenth of May, and summer in the idyllic mountains, as well as the chaotic adventure of raising two energetic boys. With vivid detail and illuminating descriptions of the landscape, Happy Times in Norway is infused with the wish that those cherished days could come again.

"So simple, so unassuming in spirit is this account that we quite forget it is about the home of one of the world’s greatest writers" —New York Times

"Ageless and timeless; a rare book for the whole family." —Horn Book Review
