Norway's celebrity wood chopper

Outlook

Available for over a year

Norwegian novelist Lars Mytting became something of a celebrity when he wrote a factual book called: Norwegian Wood: Chopping, Stacking and Drying Wood the Scandinavian Way. It even inspired a twelve-hour long primetime television programme in Norway - eight hours of which was simply a live feed of a fire burning. It was massively popular. When Lars joined Outlook's Jo Fidgen in the studio, he told her why Norwegians are so fascinated by wood.
