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 seter. Unfortunately, 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.
