War Diaries, 1939-1945 | Astrid Lindgren

pick

This was so interesting! This was the war diaries from the author who wrote Pippi Longstocking. I was intrigued by the daily entries from her experiences in Sweden. Highly recommend this one. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

The Brothers Lionheart | Astrid Lindgren

#sundayfunday @ozma.of.oz
I think like many swedes, childhood and Astrid Lindgren are near synonymous. In the US, Pippi Longstocking is probably her most famous creation, but the fantasy works (Ronia the Robber's Daughter, The Brothers Lionheart, Mio My Son) were my favourites, because well, I'm me. But The Children of Noisy Village and Emil the prankster are based in small agricultural villages from the author's own childhood...

annamatopoetry ... And the Magpie series as well as short stories like The Red Bird deals with social inequality. And Lindgren refuses to shy away from sad or difficult, including death. Just overall fantastic. But Pippi isn't my favorite. 2y

BookmarkTavern I had no idea the creator of Pippi was Swedish! That‘s so neat! Thank you so much for sharing! 2y

annamatopoetry @ozma.of.oz thanks for giving me an opportunity to proselytize! lol there are definitely books of hers I'd recommend to adults as well, especially Ronia!

Thanks for the tag @JaclynW ! :)

1. As soon as I could read:) Well, actually before that as my parents read for me. I was a frequent visitor at the library when I was young.
2. Tagged. Such a talented author, I love all her books, but this really made an impact on me the first time I read it as a child. And she has the gift of conveying one message to the young ones, and another to the adults, making it a beautiful read for both.

For me it‘s definitely Astrid Lindgren‘s The Brothers Lionheart. I loved everything she wrote, but this book has a special place in my heart. It taught a far too serious kid not to fear death. A small piece of me still believes in Nangijala...

Wanna play @Tahoe ?

This was the first book I've ever read on my own as a child so it holds special place in my heart. I decided to go back to it for some comfort and smiles. I still remember a lot of the stories and illustrations by Hanna Czajkowska. Can't wait to read it with my son!

No one in the house is sure where this book came from, but it was on the shelf so I picked it up for a lighthearted read. It‘s absolutely adorable and sweet, and a perfect pick-me-up on a down day.
