The cold has rarely been harder and the spring never clearer than here. Marit Törnqvist has made a masterful staging of the story from the collection Sunnanäng about the poor orphans' struggle for their existence with the farmer in Myra and the meeting with the red bird that shows the way to cherry blossoms and green meadows and a mother who shouts "Come all my children" .
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.
