On Friday, October 10th at 16, a book launch will be held at Hafnarborg to celebrate the reissue of Rauði fiskurinn by Rúna, Sigrún Guðjónsdóttir. The book is being re-released by the publisher Bókabeitan, in Icelandic and in the author’s own English translation. The layout and cover design were done by Blær Guðmundsdóttir.
Rauði fiskurinn was first published in 1972 and again in 1988 with the illustrations featured in this new edition. In the story, text and images flow effortlessly together into a captivating and engaging whole. This new release offers a new generation the chance to experience a timeless gem of Icelandic children’s literature.
The story follows little Simba, the only red fish in the sky-blue sea. He sets out on a journey in hopes of finding others like him. Readers follow Simba across warm and cold seas—sometimes frightened, sometimes thrilled, but always hopeful that he will achieve his goal: to find a small red playmate and grasp true happiness.
Throughout her long and diverse career, Rúna’s artistry has found expression in ceramics, book illustration, painting, and design. She has received numerous honors over the years, including the Order of the Falcon and the Icelandic Design Award.
Light refreshments will be served, and the book will be available at a special launch price.
