    Hah yeah I’m swedish and that film was kind of traumatic for a whole generation 😁 I mean I was like seven years old and only understood the death metaphor and so on not really consciously I guess, as for the non-metaphorical deaths those we understood 100% !

    She wrote so many books & films for children that were very profound, and good!

      Yeah. It’s a masterpiece and in my opinion, one the best stories she ever wrote. Which says a lot, because she almost only wrote brilliant works.

      I always describe her as Scandinavia’s JK Rowling (only a thousand times better) when I explain to non-scandinavians what she means to us. I know I am obligated by law to clown on Sweden, but there are a couple of areas where the swedes are superior and Astrid Lindgren is one of those areas.

      Also, happy Easter and I hope you have a wonderful Spring, my friend ❤️
