Biographical information:
Born in Sweden in 1907. During the course of her life she wrote
over 40 books for children. She once commented: 'I write to amuse
the child within me, and can only hope that other children may have
some fun that way too.'
Many of her stories are based upon her memories of childhood, and
filled with lively and unconventional characters. Perhaps the best
known is Pippi Longstocking, first published in Sweden in 1945. It
was an immediate success with children, and was later published in
England in 1954.
During her lifetime, Lindgren was awarded dozens of Swedish and
international prizes for her writing, among them the prestigious
Hans Christian Andersen medal in 1958.
`The greatest gift of an author is that their work should stay with
the reader forever. This story will.'
