Allrakäraste Astrid (Swedish)
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

Astrid Lindgren in Norway
The first to bring Astrid Lindgren's books abroad was the publisher Damm & Søn in Oslo, with their Norwegian edition of "Pippi Longstocking" already appearing in 1946. This marked the beginning of a long-standing relationship. Today, most of her books in Norway are published by Cappelen Damm, a publishing house formed through the merger of Cappelen and Damm. Astrid's book adaptations into films also became popular in Norway, as did her famous songs. One of Astrid Lindgren's favorite books was "Hunger" by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun; she often mentioned it as one of her greatest reading experiences.
