Lotta from Noisemaker Street is five years old. She only has a silly tricycle, and despite wishing it so, she doesn't get a two-wheeler for her birthday. She gets so angry that she mops Aunt Berg's old bike, but that is way too big for Lotta…Translator: Thyra Dohrenburg
Fakta
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.
