Ein Kalb fällt vom Himmel (German)
"A poetic star gift from Astrid Lindgren: It happened on the same day: The rich Bäckhult farmer drove to the city and Johann, the son of poor people, found a calf in the snow while shoveling snow. It was a small, brown calf on four shaky legs and with big eyes that lay there on the side of the road and bleated pitifully. Had it fallen straight out of the starry sky, just for Johann? Or did the farmer have something to do with it?The poetic winter and Christmas story was first published under the title "When the Bäckhultbauer drove into town".Translators: Senta Kapoun, Hedwig Kronnerwetter"

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.
