Snoopy/Peanuts in Copenhagen and Norway

DH and I are going to Copenhagen to board Vision of the Seas for Arctic Circle cruise up the coast of Norway in August. The biggest city in Norway we will visit is Bergen. I am Norwegian on my mother's side - we are very excited.

I would like to purchase some Peanuts books (Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and friends) in Danish and Norwegian while we are in those countries. It is called "Knøttene" in Norway and "Radiserne" in Denmark. If anyone can tell me of which bookstores in Copenhagen and Bergen would have these, I will see if I can look for some there. Also, if there is anything Peanuts-related that is specific to those countries, other than books or DVD's (I think their region is not compatible with US) that you know of that I could shop for while we are on our trip, please let me know.

Thank you!

Peanuts doesn't seem to be so popular in Norway, and I've encountered a number of people who aren't very familiar with it at all beyond a vague knowledge of its existence. (Donald Duck aka "Onkel Donald" is the locals' beloved comic character.)

I did a search on the websites of two of the major bookstore chains, and the only listing they had for a Peanuts title in Norwegian was a set of small gift-book style titles:

Your best bet would be to contact the stores in Bergen directly to inquire if they carry these. You might also ask if it would be possible for one of the stores to order a title for you to pick up in person at the shop. I'm not sure if they could do this by email, but in the past I've requested special orders from a local Norli shop, so it might be worth a try.

Here is the information for the three Norli locations in downtown Bergen:

ARK lists the same results: http://www.ark.no/SamboWeb/sok.do?rom=AR&spraak=Norsk&aktor1=Charles+M.+Schulz&rolle1=forfatter and has one store in central Bergen:

ARK Beyer

Strandgaten 4, 5013 Bergen

Tel: 55307700

E-mail: beyer@ark.no

Hours: M-F 9am-8pm, Sa 9am-6pm

Lastly, I did find one listing for a pre-owned title. :o

Bog og Idé only got this title.

The one you can find in downtown Copenhagen are at Købmagergade 45, 1150 København K

That one is located close to the Round Tower.

Arnold Busck at Købmagergade 49 has the same title.

This one is probably a better option because they seems to have many many titles and its a shop only dedicated to comic books.
