Authors
Arndís Þórarinsdóttir
Arndís Þórarinsdóttir (b. 1982) is an award-winning Icelandic writer and translator. Before becoming a full-time writer, Arndís worked as a journalist and critic and was the head of department at the library in Kópavogur. She writes for children of all ages, but the most recent works are for middle grade and young adult readers. Whether her stories deal with emotional development and complexities of growing up or pacy adventures, they are always written with warmth and humour.
Her novel Somersault has won Icelandic Women's Literature Prize,
Icelandic Literature Prize in Children's category and The Reykjavík
Children's Book Award, and it was nominated for the Nordic Council Prize in 2022.
