Rasmus, Pontus och Toker
Everything that little Västanvik has in terms of adventure can be found at Lusknäckarmalmen, the town's ancient marketplace. Rasmus and Pontus come here on a Wednesday evening to see the world-famous sword swallower Alfredo. By accident, they hear about plans for a silver heist to take place in the small town where they live. When Toker, who has been allowed to stay at home, gets tired of it and comes scuttling on his short little legs right into the center of the action, the adventure begins in earnest.

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.
