Kati in Amerika (German)
In 1950, just after the war, a trip to America, to the vast country in the west, is quite an adventure. Kati is an inquisitive and fun-loving young woman and absorbs everything new with a fresh and undistorted eye. How exciting, his goods to be able to look it up yourself in a self-service store, even in the middle of the night if you feel like it! Or to drink coffee in a drugstore and chat casually with nice neighbors at table! It's a miracle that Americans don't get stunted legs with all the cars, thinks Katie.Translator: Else von Hollander-Lossow

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.
