Alf Proysen (Part III of III)
Writing in his distinctive dialect, Prøysen reveals a regional pride that warmly recalls the heart of the country.

Alf Proysen - Part II of III
Though most boys in the area had little choice but to begin working after confirmation, Prøysen received a stipend that allowed him to continue his education at the Ringsaker Amtskole. Here he wrote essays for the other students, in exchange for fifty ører. Prøysen finished his studies in 1932 and found work as a cook on a nearby farm, drawing and writing in his spare time. When time allowed, he also got involved in amateur theater and local revues.
