On a journey through a century: Astrid Lindgren's life in photographs. The story of Astrid Lindgren's life is as fantastic as her tales: the girl from the countryside leaves the paradise of childhood, has an illegitimate child, struggles in the big city, gets married, starts writing, and becomes the world's most famous children's author. She is showered with awards, topples a government, and influences laws. Yet, despite everything, she remains at heart a farmer's daughter from Småland her entire life. This photo book showcases many previously unpublished photographs from Astrid Lindgren's private albums, documents the stages of her life, and invites readers to discover a unique individual - a wonderful woman who often enjoyed being photographed. A treasure trove not only for Lindgren enthusiasts.
