Jo Nesbø
Jostein Gaarder
Oslo-born Jostein Gaarder started his career as a
secondary-school teacher before branching into lecturing
and writing textbooks, poems and newspaper articles.
He graduated to short-story fi ction in 1982, and then
in 1987 and 1988 published two children's books. In
1990, Gaarder introduced Kabalmysteriet ( " The Solitaire
Mystery " ), about the quest a father and son take to fi nd
the boy's lost mother. This work
was a jumping-off point for
1991's Sofi es verden: roman om
fi losofi ens historie ( " Sophie's
World: A Novel about the
History of Philosophy " ), which
encouraged readers to ponder
along with the main character
the history of philosophy.
It became an international
best-seller in 1995. To date,
approximately 40 million copies of the book have been
purchased, and it has been translated into 60 languages.
Jo Nesbø has worn
many hats in his 61
years. At age 18, the
Oslo native played for
Molde FK, Norway's
premier league
soccer team, before
a knee injury ended
his professional
aspirations. A threeyear
service in the
military and a degree
in Economics followed.
From there, Nesbø worked as a fi nancial analyst by day while
gigging with his chart-topping pop-rock
band at night. Eventually, the grind of
this double life took its toll, and when
someone suggested he write a memoir
about his musical travels, he went for it.
What emerged instead was his fi rst crime
novel for adults, which featured a fi ctional
detective named Harry Hole. Nesbø went
on to pen more volumes in this series to
much international attention and praise.
So far, he's sold more than 50 million
copies of his books around the world.
But it's not just grown-ups who get to
enjoy his talents. Nesbø has published
several children's books, the fi rst being
Doktor Proktors Prompepulver (Doctor
Proctor's Fart Powder, 2007). Seven more
in this series have also been giggled at by
children around the globe.
Bjørn F. Rørvik
Bjørn F. Rørvik grew up in
eastern Jevnaker, and after
graduating from university dove
into the fi elds of fi lm and video
production, radio, cinema and
journalism. He wrote his fi rst book
for kids in 1996, and has since
become one of the most notable
Norwegian authors in this genre.

Rørvik's work is bursting with
humor and wacky plots. He's
best known for his story " The
Little Paintbrush, " as well as his
series involving the characters
Bukkene Bruse (The Three Billy
Goats Gruff), Fox & Piglet and
a master-detective leek named
Purriot.
