Can someone add a picture 'Margit Sandemo at book fair of Göteborg 2005' from swedish Wikipedia for this site, because myself can not. Pqpq 11:48, 31 Januar 2005

I don't know how to add a picture, but in case some non-Swedish-literate person does, here is the URL to the Swedish article about her (which currently has that picture): http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margit_Sandemo --Peter Knutsen 12:38, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Swedish naming

Is there a good reason why the book's titles use the Swedish titles, when they are written by a Norwegian author? I propose they are changed to the Norwegian titles. Weedar 16:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

She is Norwegian/Swedish, and writes in a mixture of both languages, so they go through editors for a complete translation into both languages, as far as I've heard. Her spoken language is decidedly more Swedish. Tales 22:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, I have the books in Norwegian, and in the jacket the original title is stated in Swedish.Tales 19:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I haven't used tags before, but shouldn't this have a clean-up tag for grammar and general language issues? Tales 18:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Added tag, cleaned up some and removed this:

"The events of novels are placed in Europe in the Middle Ages and in the beginning of the Modern Times, especially in Norway and Iceland. Sometimes the main characters have adventures more far away, such as in Spain and Austria."

Even further away than Europe... such as Spain and Austria? Tales 20:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

No even further than Europe, but even further away than Norway and Iceland. --Movedgood 13:15, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not a native English speaker and consequently I am blind for my own grammar mistakes. It's fine that you have did clean-up, but tag doesn't make the article better. Tell which sections of article need yet clean-up, please. --Movedgood 13:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I didn't mean any offense with the tag. I was planning to edit it more this weekend, but my router died. I'd say about 90 % of the text needs editing, but English isn't my native language either, so there are limits to what I can do, hence I put the tag there in the hopes that someone might see it and help out.
