""You run into thugs and bandits wherever you go," Anders says to his friend Kalle Blomkvist. And Anders is right about that. Admittedly, the master detective has now put aside the habit of suspecting every other person in his surroundings, but when he and Anders and Eva-Lotta during a night trip to the castle ruins with her own eyes sees little Rasmus kidnapped by kidnappers, then he takes up the fight without hesitation.The book is illustrated by Kerstin Thorvall in the first editions, but was later also illustrated by Eric Palmquist with a cover by Ilon Wikland."
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.
