Vangsgutane has been a classic series in Norway since 1941. Now available as a bilingual English Norwegian book. Right after WWII, Vangsgutane was used as curriculum material in Norwegian schools, as the series had easy-to-read text with pictures. This hardcover, full-colored book is for all ages with bilingual text and pictures throughout the stories. Following the loss of their father, the boys from the Vangen farm—Steinar and Kåre—tackle their father’s fieldwork and fulfill his unfinished lumber contract obligation. Honest and quick-thinking, the boys become role models for Norwegian children through their numerous adventures and close calls, some involving a troublesome neighbor boy, Larris. Made in America.
