Norway

September 18, 2013

Signhild from Norway sent me this cool black and white card.  I have a special feeling for Norway as I lived there for about a year when I was a child.  I went to an American school, so I didn't learn Norwegian, but loved the country and the interesting people.

Signhild writes,"I grew up with the books of this guy (Abraham Berge) taking up a huge space in my mentality (and a bit smaller one in the bookshelfs, as he only wrote two..) Great was the surprise the day I learnt that he actually also had been a prime minister of Norway.  His books are on local history, so I guess he's never been translated. "  She closes by saying Happy Postcrossing and Greetings from Signhild.

Abraham Theodor Berge (1851-1936)
She also used this very cool Aurora stamp on her card.
Thanks so much for a great card!
