Karlsson vom Dach (German)
"Up on the roof of a very ordinary house on a very ordinary street in Stockholm lives a man named Karlsson. He is a handsome, clever and just rightly fat man in his prime, and he lives in a particularly small house, well behind hidden by the big chimney. One fine day Karlsson comes flying through the window into Lillebror's room...Translator: Thyra Dohrenburg"

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.
