The Bruce Goat Stories are the most popular children's book series in Norway in recent years.
The old Norwegian folk tale about three goats who met an evil troll was retold in a new way by Bjørn Rørvik, incredibly funny and talented. The goats, familiar to every child from childhood, are not going to graze in the mountain meadows, but to school! Where many adventures and funny incidents await them.
Many Russian readers already know Bjørn Rørvik from the series of stories about the Fox and the Piglet. The writer is a laureate of the Norwegian Ministry of Culture's award for the best picture books. And the artist Gry Mourson created the mischievous and childish illustrations, without which the book would not be so hilarious.
The book is published in Russian for the first time - translated by Olga Drobot ("Waffle Heart", "Simpleton. Winter from Beginning to End", "Akuliska - Enemy of Radish" and others).
One of the best-selling picture books in Norway - over 150,000 printed copies have been sold by 2019!
The series is expected to continue in Russian in 2021.
Bjorn Rervik's previous books, published in Russian, the series "Other Stories about the Fox and the Piglet" - within a year of publication became bestsellers of the publishing house "Samokat", 4 books in the series have already been published, and readers' interest in it is only growing.
