Trivia / When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town

• The Character Ice Cream Bar: The "Kasper" ice cream, shaped like Casper's head, was first launched in 1992.
• Defictionalization:
  • The town itself has been built as a theme park inside Kristiansand Zoo. The buildings were made to match the original illustrations, and eight of the houses are rentals where visitors can stay overnight.
  • Scholars have argued that the book, as a core part of Norwegian culture most people grew up with and are familiar with, contributed significantly to the Norwegian values of rehabilitation in the criminal system. The three robbers are outsiders that keep breaking the law, but once they are arrested and reformed, they become important members of the town. For years, Norway has focused on rehabilitating prisoners with the goal that they can return to society once their sentence is over.
• Descended Creator: Thorbjørn Egner, the author, not only served as the narrator for the original audio drama, but also played Jonathan.
