Synopsis

Grandma has a craving for sweets, but she doesn’t have any money, so Anthony and Grandma travel to the Wild West in order to get their hands on some gold. Here they meet dangerous bandits, and they have to duel in both Ludo and with water pistols. Anthony has to be extra courageous if he is to hack it and secure the gold. It will be an adventurous journey, because when Grandma is there, there is never a dull moment

Personal note from the author

A celebration of grandparents

I think the Grandma-character is a kind of condensation of mine and Thorbjørn’s grandmothers. When I was a boy, I was often on holiday at my grandparents’ places and it was a different experience in each place. However, they had one thing in common: there was always an incredibly liberal sugar policy, no specific rules about bedtimes, a steady stream of favourite dishes and, not least, all the time in the world.

No one had to go to work or sort out all sorts of domestic chores when I was visiting, so it was absolutely possible to spend the whole day collecting chestnuts and making chestnut animals or walking down to the stream to catch tadpoles and that sort of thing. I think it is that sensation we are trying to replicate and celebrate in Anthony and Grandma.
