The noisy Village is a tiny little village in Småland, consisting of only three farms. Lisa lives in the Mittelhof with her brothers Lasse and Bosse. The sisters Britta and Inga live in the Nordhof. And Olle lives in the southern courtyard. Yes, and of course Kerstin, Olle's little sister. There aren't any more children in the Noisy Viallage, but that's quite enough...
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.
