- Story Text: Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Prince Haakon hopped on a "literature train" in Berlin on Monday as they got ready for the Frankfurt Book Fair.
Norway is the official guest of honour at the book fair this year and 100 Norwegian writers are expected, including heavyweights such as Jostein Gaarder ("Sofie's World"), crime writer Jo Nesboe and author Maja Lunde ("The History of the Bees").
The princess has regularly travelled on "literature trains" in Norway since 2014, but this is the first time she takes the concept abroad.
The couple will be travelling with 19 authors and will stop in Cologne before they arrive in Frankfurt.
