Nordic Carter Browns.

Since January this year I have visited the National Libraries of Denmark, Norway and Finland.  It is exciting and exhausting as I have uncovered hundreds of Carter Brown titles and a whole slew of new covers.

Here is a summary of CB's publishing history in these countries. In order of appearance

Finland 
1957-85
first title The Wench is Wicked

139 books incl reprints

One publisher: Valpas-Mainos (Finland only)

 
Norway

1959-1968

289 books incl reprints

2 series/publishers (Denmark and then Norway)

1. Ponni-bok (1959 - 61). Publisher:   Nasjonalforlaget printed in Oslo – 26 titles
2. CB series (1960-8).  Publishers:   Alle, Ingar Weyer Tveitan – Copenhagen (til 1975) and then Oslo (+1975)

Denmark
200 titles
1960 – 84
Publisher: Winther.

Sweden
178 books

1961 – 89
Publisher: Wennerberg (Copenhagen and then Stockholm)


Finland was out of step with the other three countries in that they reprinted Australian covers and used Australian material--not Signet material.  Thus the Finnish covers are different to those used in the other countries (see this website).   This suggests that there was an ongoing relationship with Horwitz, Carter Brown's Sydney publishers.  On the other hand,  Denmark, Norway and Sweden seem to have developed their relationship with Signet in America.  As a result, they favoured Robert McGinnis covers. 
 
 
Over the next few days I will be adding tables comparing the titles and series numbers of Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.  In the meantime, below is the Danish Series
