Karlsson Flies Again
Mummy and daddy thought that Karlsson was one of those imaginary playmates that children think up when they are lonely. So they bought Smidge a dog. Of course, Smidge loved his Bumble, but Karlsson is a much better playmate. “It has to be fun, otherwise I won’t come!” says Karlsson as he comes flying in through Smidge’s window – bright and cheery and always ready with more cunning tricks.In 2021, the books have been newly illustrated by Mini Grey and published by Oxford University Press in the UK. Previous editions were illustrated by Tony Ross.Translator: Sarah Death

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.
