On June 19th 2020, we publish the book ‘Kronborg-Stories Untold’ in Danish and English. On this page you will be able to follow the media coverage concerning the book, as well as any coverage pertaining to Get Ajour Publishing and our other releases.
The American site ‘Narratively’ publishes an interview with writer Anja Klemp Vilgaard, where she discusses the making of ‘Kronborg – Stories Untold’ and Get Ajour Publishing. She expresses her passion for finding and communicating the wonderful stories all around us, and gives a sneak peek into a possible, future release.
The Danish national daily newspaper Berlingske publishes a sizable review of ‘Kronborg – Stories Untold’, awarding it 5 out of 6 stars. The review highlights the book’s many personal portraits, as well as the unusual combination of historical dramatizations and >>A Danish workplace<<, which is described as a 'beautiful union'.
Following the grand release of ‘Kronborg – Stories Untold’, the newspaper Ugebladet Hørsholm releases an article about the new book. It focuses on the work’s portrayal of Kronborg from the working man’s point of view, and emphasizes the fact that authors Anja Klemp Vilgaard and Anders Espersen Marlow have been granted a unique access into the inner workings of the historical renaissance castle.
Over the course of the day, 180 people attended the book reception at Kronborg Castle. Due to COVID-19 the visitors were able to enjoy a wide range of activities including storytelling, guided tours revolving around stories from ‘Kronborg – Stories Untold’, visits to the castle, delicious picnic baskets as well as a thunderous gun salute.
A few days before Kronborg – Stories Untold is released, Helsingør Dagblad covers the story, focusing on the people that bring the stories from Kronborg Castle into the context of every-day life. The article describes a ‘castle of people’, which the fortress very much is, as well as the extraordinary, untold every-day stories brought to life by the book, thereby painting them in a completely new and virgin light.
Meet our newest addition to the family: A beautiful, 304-page work weighing in at just over 4 pounds. It features an abundance of beautiful pictures, hidden secrets, and artistic illustrations as well as life stories shared by the people who rarely manage to make their way into books like this. Meet craftsmen and chambermaids, slaves and soldiers, as they take centre stage – sharing their stories, both past and present. Showcasing their own version of Danish history.
During this period, Helsingør Dagblad and several other media outlets cover the upcoming series of book readings, entitled ‘Storytelling at Kronborg’, taking place on the grassy area by the castle moat every Friday in July and August. The events are completely free of charge, and we are looking forward to sharing the relatable, educational, and heart-warming stories from Kronborg with as many people as possible, throughout the summer months.

The American producer Paul Young inquires about the film- and television rights for the article published in Narratively. We are incredibly proud and delighted about the interest.
The article inspired by the Kronborg book is published on the American, Hollywood-based platform ‘Narratively’. It revolves around Eric of Pomerania – Eric VII of Denmark – the King who stole the Danish flag ‘Dannebrog’, state regalia, and some of the Crown Jewels, before turning pirate and entering into conflict with his old allies.
