Sommerfelt, Axel (son) - Kurzbiographie
- Aimée Sommerfelt, née Dedichen, was born in Oslo, Norway. After studying in Paris, she became an authorized French translator. She began writing children's books and made her debut with the novel Stopp tyven! (Stop, Thief!) in 1934. For 30 years she wrote a regular column in the magazine Alle kvinners (All Women), in which she gave advice about parenting and children. She was most famous for her 1959 work, The Road to Agra, which became an international bestseller. It was translated into English and was her first book to be published in the USA, where it won the Jane Addams Children's Book Award.

The story of two girls, one Jewish and one Christian, in Oslo, Nroway in 1941.
From vintage scholastic cover: Sixteen should be a time for laughter adn dating and fun. But for Miriam and Hanne, living in Nazi-occupied Norway during World War II, sixteen becomes a time for efear and hiding and heartbreak...for finding love and putting it aside until a better day.
