Astrids klokbok (Swedish)
For more than 30 years, the friends Astrid Lindgren and Margareta Strömstedt met and talked about everything between life and death. Just in time for Astrid Lindgren's 90th birthday, Astrid's klokbok was compiled, a life drawing in miniature - with short characteristic episodes from a long life of writing and journalism. Despite its small format, Astrid's wise book succeeds in giving a close picture of a unique author and a popular opinion maker, "a wise and reasonably cheerful farm girl in her prime".

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.
