In the fall of 1985, Astrid Lindgren entered into a debate about Swedish animal husbandry. Together with the veterinarian Kristina Forslund, she wrote several Expressen articles that raised people's awareness of how badly pigs, cows, chickens and other animals were treated in Sweden. The subject was, of course, close to Astrid's heart, peasant girl that she was. The articles were collected in the book My cow wants to have fun.

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.
