"Peter and Petra are two small children. Two small, small children! No bigger than two small dolls. They belong to the Little People, but their mother and father think that even the Little People need to learn to read and write. That's how Peter and Petra end up in Gunnar's class...One of ten short films based on Astrid Lindgren's short stories from the three collections Nils Karlsson-Pyssling, Kajsa Kavat and Sunnanäng that were published in 1988-1990."
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.
