Tomte Tummetott (Harald Wiberg)
Everyone sleeps on the lonely farm, everyone except one: Tomte Tummetott. When the stars twinkle in the sky and the snow shines white, he sneaks around on soft soles in the moonlight, watches over the yard and the people, looks in the barn and stable , into attics and sheds and comforts the animals to the coming spring.No one has ever seen Tomte Tummetott, but everyone knows that he exists.Based on a poem by Viktor Rydberg.Translator: Silke von Hacht

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.
