About the Author:
A verified Kindle customer writes: "A Christmas story for all to read. Eloquently translated from the original book. Best translation I have ever read while maintaining the poetic nature of the original book by Viktor Rydberg. Artwork is simply beautiful. So grateful for this book. It is my children's favorite Christmas book!"
I. Herald gives it five stars and says, "Beautiful illustrations. A quick read that, at the end, makes one go back to think again about the story."
A. Yerkey claims, "A favorite! Lovely, soft illustrations and sweet story."
Astrid Lindgren (1907-2002) was born in Sweden. After college, she worked in a newspaper office and a Swedish publishing house.

It was followed by two sequels, Pippi Goes on Board and Pippi in the South Seas. Ms. Lindgren had a long, prolific career, writing more than 100 picture books, poems, short stories, plays, screenplays, and novels. In 1958, she won the Hans Christian Andersen Medal, the highest international award in children's literature.
