One and a Half in Norway: A Chronicle of Small Beer is a travelogue by the author Either and Both, originally published in 1885. The book chronicles the author’s journey through Norway, detailing their experiences and observations of the country and its people. The title refers to the fact that the author traveled with a companion who was only half Norwegian, while the author themselves was not of Norwegian descent at all. Throughout the book, Either and Both provides vivid descriptions of the Norwegian landscape, including its mountains, fjords, and forests. They also delve into the country’s history and culture, discussing everything from Viking mythology to contemporary politics. Along the way, the author meets a variety of characters, from friendly locals to eccentric travelers, and shares their stories with the reader.Despite the book’s title, One and a Half in Norway is not solely focused on alcohol. While the author does occasionally mention drinking beer and aquavit, the ''small beer'' of the title is a metaphor for the author’s modest and unassuming approach to travel. Instead of seeking out grand adventures or exotic experiences, Either and Both is content to simply observe and appreciate the beauty of Norway and its people.Overall, One and a Half in Norway is a charming and insightful travelogue that offers a unique perspective on one of Europe’s most beautiful countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
