"It's the Christmas holidays and Pippi invites all the children in the small town to Christmas tree looting.The story of Pippi's Christmas tree robbery was originally published in 1948 in Aller's Julnummer, and for the first time in book form in the anthology En bil kommar loaded in 1950. It was first published as its own book in 1979 and has subsequently appeared in several editions with black and white illustrations. In 2011, Ingrid Vang Nyman's pictures were restored and colored."
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.
