Paul Lorck Eidem (22 October 1909 – 24 September 1992) was a Norwegian writer and illustrator.
He was born in Horten, in Vestfold county, Norway.[1] He grew up on the island Bastøy, where his stepfather was the warden of the special school for boys.[2]
Eidem was known in his time for books such as En herre på byen (1941), En herre på nye veier (1942) and Eva – den store suksex (1958).[1] He published the humorous book Juridisk billedbok together with Albert Wiesener, as well as children's books and non-fiction books about World War II. In addition to writing he was an illustrator and marketer by occupation.[3]
He died in late 1992.[4] In later years, his books have been used as sources on the cultural history of the day, especially slang.[3][5]
