Produced by Charles Keller, and David Widger "Boyhood in Norway: Stories of Boy-Life in the Land of the Midnight Sun" by Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen is a collection of stories reflecting on the experiences and adventures of boys growing up in Norway during the late 19th century. The book captures the essence of childhood, focusing on themes of camaraderie, rivalry, and the imaginative play that characterizes youthful innocence against the backdrop of the Norwegian landscape. The opening portion of the work introduces readers to a fierce and playful rivalry between two factions of boys, the East-Siders and the West-Siders, as they engage in mock battles inspired by their youthful imaginations. Key characters include Viggo Hook, the charismatic leader of the West-Siders, known for his noble aspirations and dramatic persona, and Halvor Reitan, the strong and brash leader of the East-Siders. As the story unfolds, the conflict escalates, culminating in a chase involving the devoted but awkward Marcus Henning, whose loyalty to Viggo leads to unexpected consequences. The narrative vividly illustrates the dynamics of friendship, conflict, and the rites of passage inherent in boyhood, inviting readers into a world brimming with youthful exuberance and the struggles for identity and recognition.
