The Estonian publishing house Nordur was founded in 2023, and it aims to publish translations of Nordic literature (mostly children’s and YA books). That same year, the first book was published – a translation of “Flat Rabbit”, a book by Faroese author Bárður Oskarsson. In addition to that, the publishing house organises visits of those Nordic authors whose books have been translated.
