Happy birthday to Astrid Lindgren (1907–2002)! One of Sweden's most beloved authors was born this day.
Astrid Lindgren became an author relatively late in life, and an influential voice on everyday issues even later. The list of Lindgren's books is long. She wrote 34 chapter books and 41 picture books (not all of them translated into English).
