Anne-Cath. Vestly is a well-known Norwegian
author of children's books. She wrote several
series of books, one of them about the adventures
of a young boy named Ole Aleksander. There are five
books about Ole Aleksander: Ole Aleksander
Filibom-bom-bom, Ole Aleksander på
farten, Ole Aleksander får
skjorte, Ole Aleksander og bestemor til
værs og Ole Aleksander på
flyttefot. In 1998, a movie based on the first
two books in the series was released.
This semester, we will be using the story Ole
Aleksander Filibom-bom-bom as supplementary
reading in our Norwegian 112 (Beginning II) and
Norwegian 231 (Intermediate I) courses. We have
created questions and a word list for each chapter
of the book. These exercises are an expanded
version of some that Katherine Hanson made when she
taught Norwegian at St. Olaf several years ago.
Ole Aleksander Filibom-bom-bom is available as a
book and an audio book. For more information and
for online purchasing, see the website of Norli
Bookstore in Oslo.
