The newspaper is offering a reward of 10,000 kroner for anyone who manages to capture the mysterious, buzzing ball!It is, of course, none other than Karlsson vom Dach, the handsome and clever and just rightly fat man in his prime. Lillebror , who is supposed to look after Karlsson, has his hands full, and it doesn't get any easier when Miss Bock and Uncle Julius get involved in the wild rows of ringlets.Translator: Thyra Dohrenburg"
Fakta
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.
