Picture: © Delivered by NTB – I have so much at heart, says Alexander Rybak, who this week debuts with a children’s book ‘Trolle and the magic fiddle”.
Alexander Rybak has great musical appeal also to a young audience. Therefore he is anxious to debut as children’s author.
“- It’s probably because I have not tried”, he gives as the reason to why he has had such a great appeal also to young music fans.
With the book “Trolle and the magic fiddle” he does something completely different:
“- For the first time I focus deliberately on child audiences.”
Then he brightens up, laughing, and says that he has discovered one thing with the music he creates:
“- It appeals to anyone who has kept the child inside themselves, whether they are children or have become 90”.
And music is plentiful in the “Trolle” universe: The picture book, which Cappelen Damm publishes these days, contains three CDs with songs and stories.
