Pippi hittar en spunk
One morning when Tommy and Annika come popping into Pippi's kitchen as usual, Pippi is sitting in the middle of the kitchen table and smiling. It was she and no one else who has come up with a wildly leaping new word. An excellent good word! One of the best she's heard! The word is snirkle! The chapter Pippi finds a snirkle, from Pippi Longstocking in the South Sea, has become a picture book. The text is reproduced in its entirety with Ingrid Vang Nyman's pictures, for this edition restored and colored by Björn Hedlund.
“If you are very strong, you must also be very kind.”
The narrator in "Do you know Pippi Longstocking?"

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.
