Hi everyone. First time posting on this board ever.
What's your thoughts on the author Astrid Lindgren and her work?
Specifically 'brothers lionheart'.
And "Mio my Mio"
Did you ever read them when you where young? What's your favourite tale? Can you get the English translation's online somewhere?

Mio min Mio has some nice passages and it's good for a fairytale, but overall it's too soft.

In my opinion, Astrid Lindgren's best book is Vi på Saltkråkan. I don't know what title it's translated under. It's a depiction of a widowed father and his children (mostly) during one summer vacation in the Stockholm archipelago and their interactions especially with one family living there. This is one of those books that many might read when they're kids (although it's not as light as the Karlsson, Pippi, or Emil books etc.), at least in Nordic countries, but if you read it as an adult with some experience you realize there's a lot of depth to it. It's probably in my top 30.
Most of her books are worth reading. I can't remember any real turkeys.Many of them are quick reads like the series I mentioned in parentheses above because they're primarily for children.

Saltkråkan the tv show is absolute top-level comfy-kino.

I loved the Pippi books, and films, and the sex tape the actress made recently, but haven't read anything else by her.

Yeah, nonsense ending and a bit too escapist. Brothers Lionheart managed some genuine weight and gravitas.
Also Karlsson på Taket is a fucking cunt.
Astrid Lindgren is based. I remember loving Mio my Mio, Brothers Lionheart and Ronja.

I'm from Iceland and alot of kids read Astrid Lingren books when they were younger. But I don't think they do anymore :(.
But I do have fond memories of watching the Brothers Lionheart movie when I was young.
