Astrids äventyr (Swedish)
The book is about three things. It is about the time when Astrid was a child and her name was Astrid Ericsson and she spoke Småland, about her friends and their games. It is also about how Astrid Lindgren used her own childhood when she wrote her books. In addition, the book can be helpful for those who visit Vimmerby and want to find things that Astrid wrote about in her books, for example the sugar drink tree, Bullerbyn and Katthult.

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.
