North Audio Publishing has secured the Danish and Dutch digital rights to the Maja from Stormskär series by Anni Blomqvist in a double five-book deal.

The Maja from Stormskär series by Anni Blomqvist continues its journey out into the world: North Audio Publishing has acquired the Danish and Dutch rights, marking four foreign language territories for this series.
The Maja from Stormskär series follows Maja, a young girl from the Åland archipelago, for over 50 years. Her life is forever changed when Janne, a fisherman’s son, asks for her hand in marriage despite barely knowing her. Young Maja is set to start a new life on the remote Stormskerry and grows into a strong woman capable of dealing with both the good and the bad that life throws at her. A coming-of-age story, a portrayal of wild nature and hard work, and a love story beautifully weaved together, the series consists of five volumes.

The Maja from Stormskär series, originally published between 1968 and 1973, is an established Swedish-language modern classic. It rose to new fame in 2024, when it was adapted into a spectacularly successful movie with the same name which became the most watched movie of the year in the Nordics. The new edition, out with Schildts & Söderströms, was a hit and sold almost 10.000 copies in less than a year. The series has already been sold to Estonia, and the French rights were pre-empted by HarperCollins in a five-book deal.
Anni Blomqvist (1909–1990) was born on Vårdö, northeast of the Isle of Åland, where she lived her entire life. She debuted in 1966 and after the success with the books about Maja from Stormskär (1968-1973) Blomqvist wrote several critically acclaimed novels and an autobiographical work about life in the archipelago, past and present.
