Sandbeck was born in Åmot, in modest conditions, and suffered from poor health during much of his childhood. He became a prodigy on the violin at an early age and had his public debut in Stjørdal in 1941. He gave up a professional career as a violinist early on to make ends meet and provided himself with odd jobs in his home town.

He wrote poetry on the side and published his first collection in 1954. His creative efforts soon extended to include composition and performance of ballads, classical works, and books. He was also an accomplished wood carver. He told stories to children on radio. He won a number of awards and commendations.

Sandbeck published 40 books of various kinds. He died in his home town of Åmot, aged 87.

gollark: Its main advantage is just that it is conveniently usable one-handed or while standing up, which the phone plus keyboard is not.
gollark: Compared to my laptop, my phone has significantly worse CPU power, massively worse GPU power, a smaller but equal-resolution and better-color-calibrated screen, much worse IO (a single USB 2 USB-C port versus five USB ports, a headphone jack, Ethernet, DP/HDMI, and power), much better battery life but worse battery capacity, and worse software.
