Flukten Til Det Øde Huset (Agent Elvin Griff)

This item is a children's or young adult's book, titled 'Flukten Til Det Øde Huset,' which translates to 'The Escape to the Deserted House.' It is part of a series featuring a character named 'Agent Elvin Griff,' as indicated on the cover. The authors, 'Arne Svingen' and 'Øyvind Gulliksen,' are credited at the top of the cover. The book features a colorful, illustrated cover with a matte or semi-gloss finish. The primary color scheme consists of a vivid orange-red sky with a silhouetted, somewhat dilapidated wooden house in the background, creating an eerie or suspenseful atmosphere. In the foreground, two animated characters are depicted in an action pose: a dark-haired boy in a black shirt and blue jeans, looking over his shoulder with a concerned expression, and a blonde girl in an orange top and dark pants, crouching and appearing to move quickly. A stone pathway with overgrown vegetation fills the lower portion of the cover. The publisher, 'GYLDENDAL,' is clearly visible in the bottom right corner with its distinctive tree logo. Physical characteristics suggest it is a standard paperback or hardcover book of typical dimensions for children's literature, likely between 8-10 inches in height. Visible condition issues include some minor scuffing and creasing along the top edge of the cover, particularly near the spine, indicating light to moderate wear from handling or storage. The overall impression is one of a well-preserved copy, suitable for continued enjoyment. The illustration style is contemporary and animated, common in modern children's mystery or adventure books.
