It is 65 years since the book about Aunt Sophie and the robbers Casper, Jasper and Jonathan was published, we are exhibiting drawings from the Cardamom Town by author Thorbj\u00f8rn Egner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Icelanders and Norwegians have a lot in common; from old culture until now, the relationship with the sea, changing weather, NATO-members, EEA and nordic cooperation.<\/p>\n

But we also have another common denominator: the author and artist Thorbj\u00f8rn Egner. In both countries we\u2019ve learned as children, that stolen gingerbread does not taste as good as bought gingerbread. We have learned that we must not forget to brush our teeth. We\u2019ve learned that we shouldn\u2019t bother others, but instead be fair and kind, and otherwise do as we please. Norwegian and Icelandic children still fall asleep to \u00abSo ro lillemann\u00bb and \u00abDvel \u00e9g \u00ed draumah\u00f6ll\u00bb.<\/p>\n

At the Norwegian Embassy in Reykjav\u00edk the staff is made up by both Norwegians and Icelanders. Egner\u2019s Legacy is something we share. Therefore, it is especially pleasant to have part in realizing the exhibition with the fine illustrations from Egner\u2019s Cardamom Town. Bj\u00f8rn Egner, the son of Thorbj\u00f8rn, was kind enough to send us these drawings which have now been enlarged and decorate these walls. Now we are very much looking forward to having the theatrical performance of \u201cCardamom Town\u201d put on, at the National Theatre of Iceland.<\/p>\n

By the way, did you know that there is a real Cardamom Town where you can ride a tram, get a scolding from Aunt Sophie, and spend the night? It is located at the Animal Park in Kristiansand, in the very south of Norway.<\/p>\n

Kind regards, from us at the Norwegian Embassy in Fj\u00f3lugata 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
