Mirabelle
Britta-Kajsa is given a small seed that shines like gold. “Plant this seed in your garden and water it well every day – then you’ll see something nice happen.” Out of the golden seed grows a doll, just like the one Britta-Kajsa has always wanted. The doll’s name is Mirabelle. This story is originally from the short story collection Nils Karlsson-Pyssling.

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.
