Steine auf dem Küchenbord
"A gift book for a lasting memory of Astrid Lindgren. The finely furnished collection contains quotations from speeches, interviews, diary entries and from Astrid Lindgren's books. The world of the great storyteller comes to life in eleven thematically structured sections - her love for children, her plea for peace, tolerance and a non-violent upbringing, their humor and their thoughtfulness: "Perhaps it would be good if we all put a small stone on the kitchen shelf as a reminder for us and for the children: never violence!"" (from the speech for the presentation of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade).Translators: Cäcilie Heinig, Anna-Liese Kornitzky, Karl Kurt Peters, Else von Hollander-Lossow"

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.
