Where it came from
Released by Polyphon under catalog number HDK 4880, this record features musical adaptations from Thorbjørn Egner’s iconic Norwegian children's book, 'Folk og røvere i Kardemomme by' (When the Robbers Came to Cardamom Town). Written and illustrated by Egner himself, the work originated as a radio play in the late 1940s before being published in 1955. The songs, which became essential cultural touchstones in Scandinavia, were carefully composed to reflect the whimsical, moralistic tone of the Cardamom Town universe.
Egner was a polymath, acting as both the author and the primary visual designer for his stories, ensuring that the music captured the specific charm of his hand-drawn illustrations. His work was intended to teach children about kindness and community through the redemption arc of the three robbers—Kasper, Jesper, and Jonatan. The record was exceptionally well-received upon release, establishing the songs as perennial classics that remain deeply embedded in the Norwegian cultural consciousness to this day.
