The stories of Rune Belsvik, a modern Norwegian writer, about Simpleton and his friends are very popular in Norway. In a small river country, the life of the heroes is full of ordinary concerns: they chop wood and dig ditches, bake bread and dry shoes, look at the sky and throw pebbles into the water... But the amazing thing is: just change the angle of view - and the simplest things are filled with special meaning and touch the heart. Wise Kovrigsen, Octava with her songs and Duckling with his tricks know how to rejoice and make others happy so much that they infect even the sly Slyson and the fool Sdobsen with this.
The book includes three of the six stories about Simpleton. To be continued!
