Vidar Sandbeck

Vidar Sandbeck (born July 21, 1918 in Åmot - died November 10, 2005, also in Åmot) was a Norwegian folk singer, composer, and writer.

Sandbeck was born into modest conditions and suffered from poor health during much of his childhood. He became a protege on the violin at an early age and had his public debut in Stjørdal in 1941. He gave up a professional career as a violinist early on to make ends meet and provided himself with odd jobs in his home town.

He wrote poetry on the side and published his first collection in 1954. His creative efforts soon extended to include composition and performance of ballads, classical works, and books. He was also an accomplished wood carver. He told stories to children on radio. He won a number of awards and commendations.

Sandbeck published 40 books of various kinds.
