Norwegian writer and musician who was one of the most important Norwegian cultural personalities in the second half of the twentieth century. He made outstanding contributions in many artistic fields: children's radio, short stories, theatre, singer-songwriter. His sole novel Trost i taklampa was a great success both as a book and as a play, depicting the Norwegian 1950's increasing urbanization and its effect on rural life. Outside of Norway he is best known for his stories about Mrs. Pepperpot, a delightful little lady who never knows when she is going to shrink to pepperpot size. In the Norwegian original, she is known as "Teskjekjerringa"; the teaspoon lady.
