Um Úrnat Frá Björk was a hand-colored book of poems by Icelandic singer Björk who was then in the band KUKL. It was launched in 1984 by Smekkleysa, a company created by young Icelandic artist friends of Björk.
There are doubts regarding the year of release of this book. Some collectors claim to have convincing evidence that it was in 1980, but given the informality of the publication, the controversy is still pending.

The book contains 16 pages in A6 format. Only 100 copies were released and it is currently a prized collector's item, priced between US$100 and US$700.
The text is handwritten by Björk and has various drawings. And with the leaves colored with watercolor. Three of the drawings were colored by Björk using crayons and watercolors.
In addition Björk did the watercolor drawing on the cover of the book in red watercolor, a drawing of the sun using crayons on the last page and she also drew two pictures with blue crayons on pages 8 and 9.

The prose is a fairy tale written by Björk.
Title translation: About Úrnat by Björk.
