Smörbukk [Smørbukk] #1965

In "Tømmerflåten," Smørbukk and Trond find themselves stranded on a remote isle during a sudden flood, forced to build a raft from floating timber to survive. With the village preparing for the grand opening of the new Blåfjell transmitter, a television crew arrives—adding unexpected attention to their isolated plight. Written by Johannes Farestveit and illustrated with quiet precision by Solveig Muren Sanden, this 1965 Norsk Barneblad adventure captures a moment of rural resilience, with Sanden’s distinctive artwork bringing both the stormy river and the small community’s quiet drama to life—cover by Solveig Muren Sanden.
