Northern Stories continues to grow!
Northern Stories increased its revenue from 8.4 to 10.2 million Norwegian kroner last year. “We are very pleased to perform so well in a tough market,” says Astrid Dalaker.
The fascinating story about the eels and it’s fight for survival is brilliantly captured in Torolf Kroglund’s The Last Eel. Now it’s German translation rights are sold to Edel Books in Germany. The publisher is based in Hamburg, the “eel-capitol” of Germany.
The Norwegian author, journalist and sports fisherman Torolf Kroglund tries to find out why the eel is about to be extinct – starting on an remote island in the middle of the long Norwegian coastline – Frøya – where he first caught eel as a kid. The author then travels through Europe (Germany, Spain, England, Netherlands, Sweden among others).

The author then travels through Europe (Germany, Spain, England, Netherlands, Sweden among others) and to the Sargasso sea to find answers, in a journey that is both a personal one and a quest for big answers. By following the fish that vanishes he not only finds the extraordinary tale of the eel but is also able to connect this unto a bigger and broader perspective.
