"Lisa and Lasse and Bosse and Britta and Inga and Ole climb mountains, catch an aurochs, feed lambs, catch crabs, sleep in the woods at night and dance around the midsummer tree when summer comes to Bullerbü." I feel sorry for everyone who do not live in Bullerbü,” says Inga.Translator: Karl Kurt Peters"
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.
