Seoul International Book Fair has unfortunately been cancelled!

The Seoul International Book Fair is cancelled due to precautions regarding the ongoing virus epidemic.
For the first time, NORLA was to attend Seoul International Book Fair, along with authors Tom Egeland, Kari Stai and Arne & Carlos. Knitting is extremely popular in South Korea, and Arne & Carlos were even announced as guest authors by the book fair.
