New Mischief by Emil (Swedish)
Things would be calmer in Lönneberga without Emil about, so the Lönneberga residents argue and start a collection to send Emil off to America. But Emil’s mother becomes furious, and the maid Lina feels sorry for the Americans. They’ve already had a terrible earthquake, she says.
So Emil stays put in Lönneberga and gets up to new mischief every day, but also some good things.
The films about Emil were later edited together and in 1975 were shown as a television series simply entitled Emil in Lönneberga, with thirteen episodes.

Fact
Astrid Lindgren in Germany
In 1949, the young German publisher Friedrich Oetinger was in Stockholm to meet the author Gunnar Myrdal. In a bookstore, he happened to hear about Pippi Langstrumpf. The rest is history – he requested a meeting with Astrid Lindgren and obtained a German option for the Pippi trilogy. Verlag Friedrich Oetinger in Hamburg still publishes all of Astrid Lindgren's children's books, and her great popularity in Germany remains intact. The film adaptations of her books were, in several cases, German co-productions, and they are still shown on German TV, especially around Christmas. Several of Astrid Lindgren's songs are very well known in their German translations, such as "Hey Pippi Langstrumpf!".
