Soria Moria Slott #[nn]

Published in 2000 by Jippi Forlag, this Norwegian graphic novel brings the beloved folk tale "Soria Moria Slott" to life through the remarkable all-around artistry of Bjørn Ousland, who handled writing, pencils, inks, colors, and lettering entirely on his own. The story draws on the classic Norwegian fairy tale tradition, with Ousland adapting the work of folk tale collectors Jørgen Moe and Peter Christen Asbjørnsen into comics form. A wonderful meeting of Scandinavian literary heritage and sequential art, this is a treat for fans of mythology, folklore, and ambitious graphic storytelling.
