| Summary | "Arne and the Christmas Star: A Story of Norway" by Alta Halverson Seymour is a children's novel written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around a young boy named Arne who is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Christmas ship, the "Stjerne", which is carrying not only gifts but also his beloved brother, Gustav, who serves as first mate. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque Norwegian fishing village, the narrative promises themes of adventure, family ties, and the warmth of holiday traditions. The opening of the book introduces Arne as he navigates the bustling Christmas preparations in his home while anxiously wishing to join his family in their mountain trip. We are introduced to his close-knit family, including his feisty grandmother, his determined brother Gustav, and his loving mother, all of whom contribute to the festive atmosphere. Despite his excitement for the journey, Arne faces the disappointment of being assigned to the less appealing task of helping with the fish packing instead. Motivated by his brother's support and charm, Arne ultimately finds a way to contribute and is gifted the chance to join the cherished mountain trip, setting the stage for adventure and anticipation that unfolds throughout the story.
