Light Entertaining snippets of Norwegian Stories of various historical periods. Recommended.A short but excellent book that touches on several eras of Norwegian History. I like how John writes. Very entertaining and normal writing rather than a dry, scholarly style. So these can be read out of general interest and you will come away knowing something in the process. 15 chapters that cover everything from the pre-Viking times to the WW2 resistance.
