In April 2026, Norway will be Guest of Honour at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, the world’s largest book fair dedicated to children’s and young adult literature. The Guest of Honour project offers a unique opportunity to showcase Norwegian literature for young readers and to highlight the high artistic quality of illustration from Norway.
We are happy to present our selected title author Erling Kagge. He has written The North Pole. The History of an Obsession (original title: Nordpolen. Natur, myter, eventyrlyst og smeltende is). The book is one of NORLA’s Selected Titles of the spring 2025.
NORLA recently visited the Non/Fiction Book Fair in Moscow, an important fair we are happy to attend every year. Russian publishers were, as in previous years, very interested in Norwegian books and this year several non-fiction titles were sold to Russia ahead of the book fair; Morten Strøksnes: Havboka, Lars Fr. H. Svendsen: Ensomhetens filosofi,
Tore Rem: Hamsun. Reisen til Hitler, Erika Fatland: Sovjetistan and Bår Stenvik: Bløff.
At the fair the books from Norway in demand were particularly children’s books and non-fiction, especially history and viking-related books.
