The first book about Pippi was published in 1945. Her daughter imaginatively created “Pippi Longstocking” as a name and then asked her mother to tell her a story about this character. Pippi Longstocking, the Brothers Lionheart, Emil of Lönneberga, and Ronia the Robber’s Daughter are among Lindgren’s characters whose first rapt audience were her children and their friends. She is best known for her Pippi Longstocking and Karlsson-on-the-Roof book series. Her books have been translated into 85 languages. If you visit Stockholm, include a trip to Junibacken, the children’s museum, which has a storybook train that takes visitors through some of her stories.Īstrid Lindgren’s books have been embraced by readers in more than 100 countries and have sold more than 144 million copies. To get started you may want to see “Becoming Astrid,” the recently made movie about the beloved children’s book author. If you have never heard of Astrid Lindgren, you should correct that gap, especially if you aspire to be a children’s book author.
