    Author:Astrid Lindgren
    Director:Olle Hellbom

    "Kruemel is ill. He has tuberculosis and will die soon. Kruemel is afraid of dying and to comfort him his big brother Jonathan tells him about Nangijala, the paradise land that one comes to after death.But it's not Krümel who comes to Nangijala first, it's Jonathan. A fire breaks out in the house where the brothers are staying, and Jonathan sacrifices his life to save crumbs from the flames. Shortly thereafter, Krümel also makes his way to Nangijala, where the Lionheart brothers meet in Cherry Valley. You seem to have landed in paradise - fields and meadows of flowers stretch as far as the eye can see and the sun is shining from a clear blue sky.But the idyll is deceptive. There are two valleys in Nangijala, Cherry Valley and Wild Rose Valley, which is occupied by the villain Tengil whose Black Knights are terrorizing the residents. Those who rebel against Tengil are thrown into the Katla Cave, where Tengil's cruel dragon Katla finishes them off.The Brothers Lionheart is a fairy tale about the struggle between good and evil. Together Jonathan and Krümel fight for good to triumph, a life and death fight against oppression and tyranny and for freedom and love."

    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.
