One comes to Nangijala, the land of campfires and legends, when one dies. Jonathan tells this to his little brother Krümel, who is terminally ill. How can life be so cruel to let some people die before they are ten years old , Krümel asks himself. I'm sure you'll have a good time, says Jonathan with conviction. In Nangijala you experience adventures from morning to night, and at night too. Because all legends happen in Nangijala.Translator: Anna-Liese Kornitzky
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.
