This weeks statue is of Sigrid Undset (1882 – 1949) and is in Stensparken which I walk past on my way to and from work. Sigrid Undset won the Nobel prize for literature for her most famous work Kristin Lavransdatter. This is a trio of novels set in Scandanavia in the Middle Ages. It is available in English in Penguin. Why is there a statue of her in Stensparken? She lived for many years in various streets around the park.
