This book chronicles the life of Prince Harald, now King of Norway, as told in historical context and through the journal of his Nurse, Inga Berg. The Norwegian Royal Family has remained very close to the hearts of Norwegians for over a century. Inga Berg's well-written journal chronicles in great detail the early life of Prince Harald. The author has translated the document into English with commentary and built a case for the monarchy's close relationship to the people. While Nurse Inga Berg was living in the royal household, she was in a unique position to observe and take part in the life of the Royal Family. She recorded in her diary the young Prince's development. She also described her everyday experiences with the royal family, providing a rare glimpse into the private lives of Crown Prince Olav, Crown Princess Martha, King Haakon, Queen Maud, Princesses Astrid and Ragnhild, and young Prince Harald. It also gives a portrait of Inga herself, an extraordinary woman who was raised in humble surroundings, overcame adversity, studied to become a nurse, and eventually came to serve in the most prestigious house in Norway to help raise the first prince to be born on Norwegian soil in almost 600 years. This is a fascinating story illustrated with hundreds of photographs throughout. 112 pages. Paperback with French flaps.
