Legenden om Ljusets rike (Norwegian: Sagnet om Lysets rike, English: The Legend of the Realm of Light; this novel has not been translated into English) is a set of fantasy novels by Norwegian-Swedish writer Margit Sandemo. It includes twenty titles. This set of novels can be read in Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic and Polish. Margit Sandemo says that she wrote this series of novels because she wanted, like many other fiction writers, to portray her own view about an idealized world. Another reason to write Legenden om Ljusets rike was for the character called Marco who Sandemo created in the end of The Legend of the Ice People. She was so fond of him that she wanted to write more about Marco in the following series of novels. Those ideas took shape in her mind when she had written around half of Häxmästaren.The motto of Legenden om Ljusets rike is (says on first page of the first volume): Don't believe everything you read! But let your imagination believe it! It lives its own life, parallel to your worldly life. Imagination can open up new worlds for you. Source: Wikipedia (en)
