Astrid Lindgren is not only famous, she is loved – as a writer, as a person. Her life is like a fairy tale, but there have also been everyday life, professional life and family alongside her outstanding writing. Friends bear witness to this long and content-rich life and the colleagues, writers and researchers in this book, which contains more than twenty specially written contributions, has become a tribute to Astrid, richly illustrated with pictures from her private albums and from her books. Ed. Susanna Hellsing, Birgitta Westin and Suzanne Öhman-Sundén
