Biography
Ingvar Ambjørnsen was born in 1956 in Tønsberg and raised in Larvik. He dropped out of high school after one month and instead completed a year of typography. His first published book was a book of poems, followed by a semi-autobiographical novel. He has written several books for children but is perhaps best-known for his adult Elling series, one of which has been published in English, his only book to have been translated into English. Many of his books have been translated into other languages, particularly German.
