Nonni and Manni is an adventure children's television series produced as a joint venture between Iceland and West Germany.

The six-episode series debuted on 26 December 1988 on West Germany's ZDF channel, with the last one airing on 1 January 1989.

The story was based on the eponymous book written by the popular Icelandic children's author Jón Sveinsson, nicknamed "Nonni", who had written several books inspired by his own experiences of growing up alongside his brother Ármann, nicknamed "Manni", at their childhood home in Akureyri.

Twelve-year-old Nonni (Garðar Thór Cortes) and his eight-year-old brother Manni (Einar Örn Einarsson) live with their mother Sigrid (Lisa Harrow) and grandmother (Concha Hidalgo) on a small farm in 1869 Iceland.

Before Manni was even born, the boys' father had gone to South America in search of work to support his family, and they are still awaiting his return.
