Das entschwundene Land (German)
"There is more love in this love story than any I have found in books." Astrid Lindgren tells of her parents Samuel August and Hanna. And she tells of her childhood in Småland in a vanished land, and of the fairy tales she heard in Kristin's kitchen. Her book ends, as it began, with a love story that is almost as beautiful and touching as that of Samuel August von Sevedstorp and Hanna in Hult, but it is about Luise Mejer and Heinrich Christian Boie, who lived in Germany in the 18th century.Translator: Anna-Liese Kornitzky"

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.
