It's a Child's World

The exciting, first-hand account of heroism and daring sabotage during the Nazi occupation of Norway. The outcome of World War II could very possibly have been much different if Knut Haukelid and his small, but courageous band of Norwegian soldiers had not been successful in sabotaging the Nazis supply of heavy water. The heavy water produced at a facility in occupied Norway was vital to Hitlers race with the United States to develop the atomic bomb. Knut Haukelids Skis Against The Atom gives the reader an intimate account of the valiant and self-sacrificing service that the not-to-be-subdued Norwegians performed for the whole free world.

This collection of interestingly-told stories by Arland O. Fiske gives the reader an opportunity to learn of a great many worth-while things about Norwegians from the ancient time to the present. A format such as this, with short, concise stories, makes it possible for one to pick up the book for a few minutes and be rewarded with a wealth of information served in a delightful manner. Such exposure to a wide variety of topics about people, places, traditions and history of Norway can very well whet the readers appetitee for a more indepth study of this remarkable Land of the Midnight Sun. Mr. Fiske has conveniently arranged these stories in chronological order in three sections: Ancient and Medieval; Immigration Period; and Norway and Norwegians Today. His dedicated research tells us of persons and events of great renown as well as those whose footsteps through the pages of history have not been so well recorded. As we think about who we are, it is well to consider where we have come from. In doing so, we can better appreciate those forebearers in their struggles, their accomplishments, their sorrows and how they enjoyed life. The Best Of The Norwegian Heritage is a book that spans the ages as well as the continents. - Sigurd Lindland, General Manager, Norwegian Showcase, EPCOT Center, Orlando, Florida

Interior designer Mary Lomen shows, with many illustrations and instructional diagrams, the beautiful art of wheat weaving. There are step-by-step instructions for many wheat dolly projects including several beautiful Christmas ornaments. Illuminating the home with wheat dollies is a delightful age-old custom which has become a popular decorating motif in the United States. These beautiful, all-natural, hand-crafted ornaments have been used for countless centuries, and they are found in homes throughout the world. As living works of art they are especially esteemed by many Europeans, who traditionally decorate their homes with these symbols of health, happiness, and good fortune.

Its easy to find Norway. Its that long, spoon-shaped country in northwest Europe. But Norway Times correspondent Roald Steen knows that Norway can also be found elsewhere . . . right smack-dab in the heart of America! When the thousands of Norwegian immigrants sailed west to America in the 1800s and early 1900s they brought along not only their material belongings but also their Nordic traditions and heritage. This rich ethnic spirit continues to live and even thrive in the many Norwegian settlements throughout the United States. This book is a compilation of stories that first appeared in Mr. Steens popular column in the then Brooklyn, New York-based newspaper, Norway Times. So, if you were unlucky enough to miss these wonderful stories the first time around, in that publication, then heres your chance to enjoy Americas slice of Norway from someone who has a love for both countries. To give the reader a better perspective of Mr. Steens native Norway, he provides an insiders view of many little-known, but interesting places, customs and events. As for his new Norway, the heritage-commemorating activities and accomplishments of the Norwegian-Americans are reported with objectivity and a good measure of pride. We think you will agree that Roald Steen is a writer who is at home in either of the two Norways.
