rdfs:comment
  • Swedish author of children's books, 1907-2002. Her books have been translated into 85 languages, published in more than a hundred countries and sold more than 145 million copies. She has written dozens of books; some of the most famous ones are Pippi Longstocking, Mio, my Mio (pronounced Mee-o), and Karlsson on the Roof. They verge from the relatively mundane (The Children of Noisy Village) to children's detective stories (the Bill Bergson series) to straight-out fantasy (Ronja the Robbers Daughter, The Brothers Lionheart) A good chunk of her books have been turned into movies or TV-series. (Most of the movies are edited from TV-footage though.)

(Most of the movies are edited from TV-footage though.) She has an asteroid named for her; on learning this, she commented that henceforth they could call her "Asteroid Lindgren". She also did narrated readings of many of her books for Swedish television and radio. She was Sweden's very own Dear Grandmother.
