Norway, the Northern Playground: Sketches of Climbing and Mountain Exploration in Norway between 1872 and 1903 is a 1904 book on mountaineering in Norway by British mountaineer William Cecil Slingsby. The book tells the story the first ascents of many of the most challenging peaks in Norway and contributed greatly to popularizing mountaineering in Norway—particularly in Jotunheimen—among the international and especially British mountaineering community, which had thus far largely focused on the Alps. It was published in Edinburgh by Scottish publisher David Douglas in 1904, with 425 pages, 32 full page illustrations, 9 maps and 70 vignettes. A second revised edition was published in 1941, edited by Slingsby's daughter Eleanor Slingsby and with a short biography of William Cecil Slingsby authored by Geoffrey Winthrop Young.
