Astrid Lindgren, author of the famed Pippi Longstocking novels, is perhaps one of the most significant childrens authors of the last half of the twentieth century. In this collection contributors consider films, music, and picturebooks relating to Lindgren, in addition to the authors reception internationally. Touching on everything from the Astrid Lindgren theme park at Vimmerby, Sweden to the hidden folk songs in Lindgrens works to the use of nostalgia in film adaptations of Lindgrens novels, this collection offers an important international and intermedial portrait of Lindgren research today.
