This month we focus on Scandinavia and deliver an issue packed with Nordic flavour. First up, is the enduring influence on modern music from Scandinavian pop which all started, of course, with ABBA. We also discuss the Nobel Prize and revise the legacy of Hans Christian Andersen. Here on the Coast, we talk with some prominent Scandinavian movers and shakers including a review of the legendary Danish company, Bang & Olufsen.
These northern territories are famed for their dramatic landscapes and outstanding natural features and we bring you a selection to take your breath away. Similarly, there are some very special developments taking place on the culinary stage as you will deduce from our profile on René Redzepi and our report on the latest dining trends.
