Astrid Lindgren

My note

I can see that a lot of the work based on Astrid Lindgren’s books are on YouTube! My favourite as a child was Bröderna Lejonhjärta (I also read the book some years ago).

From wiki: "Like several of Lindgren's works, the book has a melancholy tone, and many of its themes are unusually dark for the children's book genre. Disease, death, tyranny, betrayal, and rebellion form the backdrop of the story, against which are contrasted platonic love, loyalty, sacrifice, hope, courage, and pacifism.

No need to watch it all, but you can save it for a rainy day if you want to see Swedish kids TV from the 70s: (link)

And I also found another of my favourites… Emil i Lönneberga (link)
