Pippi Långstrump går ombord
In the second book about Pippi we get to follow along when Pippi buys eighteen kilos of candies, when she goes to the market and tames boa constrictors and pranks and when she takes Tommy and Annika to a deserted island and is shipwrecked for two days. But then Captain Longstocking comes sailing on his Hoppetossa and wants Pippi to come with him to the South Sea island where he floated ashore after being blown into the lake during a storm.
“If you are very strong, you must also be very kind.”

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.
