The Fiddler Girl

Spelejenta

Jon Fosse’s most recent children’s book is a fairytale about a clairvoyant fiddler girl. She sees that her father has been stranded on an island, and embarks on a journey with her fiddle to find and comfort him. She encounters many challenges along the way – where her trusty fiddle becomes an invaluable companion.

A magical children’s book for young and old with stunning illustrations by Øyvind Torseter.

If the eyes of a dice should speak of artistic quality and ambition, this certainly deserves a seven.
