Gosh.. She is my favorite writer ever! I spent my childhood reading her books in 87's til 90's!! My favorite are Children from Bullerbyn, Emil, Pippi Longstocking, Madita and Lotta! ❤❤ My late father used to stocked us with her series books! It was very pleasant time for us especially during the school holiday. We collected all series. We were living in Indonesia and at that time Gramedia was the only book store who has translated all foreign children books into Indonesian language. My sister and I were definitely having the best childhood memories with her books! Thank you Astrid Lindgren! We love you! ❤❤❤❤
I'm an American. There used to be a lot of Swedes in the USA, Minnesota. Not so much anymore, as there used to be.... But I fondly recall my mother telling me a bit about the story of Pippi Longstocking. My mother died from a small airplane crash when I was nine... So it might be nice to visit this Pippi Longstalking story and see what she was talking about. It seemed to be a beloved story from HER childhood. ♥️ Thank you for sharing this video.
Astrid Lindgren is certainly the best author for kids. We had so much fun reading her books. I started to read them when I was about ten. But even now I consider it is such a pleasure to reread them and share the joy with children.
I am not swedish i only saw pippi as a kid and it stuck with me into adult life then I started looking into her other stuff and nothing else Iike the films based on her stories transport me back to being a kid. I really love bullerbyn and madicken stories.
Vår underbara Astrid! De fantastiska böckerna och filmerna lever för alltid. Hoppas att få träffa dig i Nangijala, sitta och prata och diskutera om allt möjligt. 🌹
I don't know if you'll ever read this... I thank you for giving me the ability to dream as a child . I'm 43 years old now and I still cherish Pipi Long stocking 🙏❤️
I'm sorry for being 2 years late but she passed away in 2002 at 95 years of age. I am from the small city of Vimmerby like her and I remember as school children in 2007 we celebrated what would have been her 100th birthday.
My favourite author when I was 8-9. I haven't read all of her books, but maybe they weren't all translated into Polish yet or my libraries didn't have it. This is the first time I have seen an interview with her. I guessed the answer to the last question - what she wishes for the world. One day I want to have a character named Astrid, it's a lovely name. Only yesterday I found out her middle name was Anna.
Astrid Is Such A Wonderful Person I Love All Of Her Books My Favorite Book Of Her is Madita But Astrid Is Kind And She Always Cared For People She Is a True Icon
If you heard her in spoken swedish you would say she is THE grandmother of all children. She talked so calm and wonderfull. Even if she seems to know english she struggles to find the rigth words. She sounded more warm and kindly in swedish. The conversaitons got so much deeper.
Astrid Lindgren speaks English WOW. It had been my dream I had no idea about (since 2011, I guess when I discovered RU-vid and Astrid's interviews here.) I mean, I don't know Swedish, and my English is much better Now. So I can understand one of the most favourite writers while listening to her voice 😍 And her English is wonderful.
