Arland O. Fiske Books

Arland Fiske is a pastor, educator, author, syndicated columnist, and another 100% Norwegian-Lutheran. If that's not enough, he's also a really nice guy.

Fiske has written a series of heritage books about Scandinavia and Scandinavian-Americans.  Each chapter focuses on a different person, place or piece of culture unique to each country... from favorite folktales to favorite hymns, and from Vigeland Park to the mountain seterUnfortunately, only two titles in the series, Norwegian Heritage (Volume 1 and Volume 2), remain in print.

In the book, Betty, Fiske puts a human face on life in Denmark during World War II.  It is a nonfiction story based on the experiences of Fiske's wife's cousin, Betty Poulson, and her eventual husband, Erik Waehrens.  There is currently discussion in Denmark centered on translating this book into Danish.
