Astrid Lindgren is more than a writer of children’s books. Her books (75 in total) have sold roughly 165 million copies globally, and her most cherished stories are woven into the fabric of Swedish cultural history. Holding a remarkable longevity, they have been enjoyed for generations, handed down from parent to child.
‘Pippi Långstrump’ (Pippi Longstocking) is perhaps the biggest celebrity in Lindgren’s sizeable hall of fame. Pippi aside, Lindgren dreamt up a host of other characters – naughty but nice Emil, adventurous ‘Ronja Rövardotter’ (Ronja the Robber’s Daughter) and the delightfully surreal ‘Karlsson på taket’ (Karlsson on the Roof) to mention but three. All have leapt from page to screen, appearing in TV-series, cartoons and feature film adaptions alike.
Astrid Lindgren's World (Swedish: Astrid Lindgrens värld) is a theme park located in Astrid Lindgren's native city Vimmerby, Sweden.
It was opened in 1981 as a Fairytale Village (Sagobyn). In 1981, they built Katthult. the first house together on a 1:3 scale. Over the years, more settings were added all built on a 1:3 scale.
In its 180,000 square metres, visitors meet all the beloved characters from books by Astrid Lindgren. All the environments are built as prescribed in the books and they give child visitors the possibility to enter into the stories of Pippi Longstocking, Emil i Lönneberga, Karlsson-on-the-Roof, and many others of Astrid Lindgren's beloved characters.
Astrid Lindgrens World is open in the summer from May to August.
