Description

Of the tunes and marches ascribed to him, some are said to have been inspired by the Trolls. One tune he learned from the devil himself, while another he made to save his life! But the most famous of all . . . Though he owned little, and lived in the poorest of cottages in the hills, Ole Haugen ended up giving a gift of seemingly everlasting goodness to his daughter, and then to the world -- for he was a fiddler, and his magical "Bridal March" seemed the merriest melody ever to strike the ear. Yet Ole Haugen spoke odd words about his cheery melody . . . and some came to wonder if its strange power was a blessing -- or curse.

Author Biography

Bj rnstjerne Martinius Bj rnson (1832 - 1910) was a Norwegian writer who received the 1903 Nobel Prize in Literature "as a tribute to his noble, magnificent and versatile poetry, which has always been distinguished by both the freshness of its inspiration and the rare purity of its spirit," becoming the first Norwegian Nobel laureate. Bj rnson is considered to be one of The Four Greats (De Fire Store) among Norwegian writers, the others being Henrik Ibsen, Jonas Lie, and Alexander Kielland. Bj rnson is also celebrated for his lyrics to the Norwegian National Anthem, "Ja, vi elsker dette landet."
