Background

Rybak had been wanting to write a musical for a long time. [1] The children's book was released in November 2015, alongside an album with songs that added to the storyline. [2]

Rybak wrote all the melodies by himself, except for the melody of "Stjerner vår", which he took from a composition by his father Igor Rybak.[ citation needed ]

Critical reception

Trolle og den magiske fela was met with favourable reviews in Norway. Dagbladet gave it a "die throw" of 5, while Aftenposten wrote that it was "a superb new adventure story that together with the music becomes a great cultural experience. The author calls the book partly autobiographical, but many children may recognize themselves in little Trolle". [3]
