“Book Descriptions: November 2011, the Norwegian newspaper Morgenbladet released the list of the best Norwegian albums ever.

Radka Toneff and Steve Dobrogosz’s album ”Fairytales” became #1 in this poll. Fredrik Wandrup, the author, was just arm’s length from the jazz explosion that went on at the end of the 70’s. Radka Toneff took her own life just months after the album was released. Soundwise and musically ”Fairytales” has made huge impression, also outside Norway.
