From the Back Cover
Worldwide traveler and native Norwegian, Anne Marit Bjørgen unlocks the dining and lodging secrets of one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Norway is best known for its breathtaking mountains and majestic fjords, which attract thousands of tourists to the country every year. Despite these numbers of visitors, many of whom are seeking intimate and personable lodging experiences, never has there been a travel guide to the country as extensive and thorough as The Norway Bed & Breakfast Book. Bjørgen includes over 150 listings in English, Norwegian, and German to Norway's greatest bed and breakfasts. She also includes information on the surrounding areas, relates important regional history, and suggests places to visit. Detailed reviews rank the establishments on cleanliness, quality of food, comfort level, and more. From private homes to quaint family-owned inns, this guide has everything necessary to give tourists the best experience possible. Born in Norway, Bjørgen graduated from Oslo School of Architecture. After the Norwegian construction industry was devastated in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Bjørgen opened her own bed and breakfast, which she ran for seven years. During this time, she collected information on bed and breakfasts nationwide and published the first B&B guide to Norway.
About the Author
Anne Marit Bjørgen was born in Stavanger, Norway. She studied at the Oslo School of Architecture from 1982 to 1988. After working for a major construction firm upon graduation, Bjørgen started a small publishing company in 1992 and, one year later, opened her own bed and breakfast. By 1994, Bjørgen had collected enough information on Norwegian bed and breakfasts to lead to her publishing the first bed-and-breakfast guide to Norway. In addition to traveling throughout Central America, Europe, and the United States, Bjørgen enjoys pursuing various arts and crafts, including beading and furniture remodeling. After living in Oslo for more than twenty years, Bjørgen resides in Møre where she is renovating an old house.

This review is from: Norway Bed and Breakfast Book (Norway Bed & Breakfast Book) (Paperback)
We have been to Norway 8 times and never had seen your book. We found many places that we didn't know about. We will find it very helpful on our next trip this summer. Written well and you can find any area of the country that you want.
