Captions Emil in Lönneberga is of one of Astrid Lindgren's most beloved characters. Wild, stubborn and charming, Emil has a fantastic ability to turn the God-fearing and orderly Småland countryside upside-down – but his pranks are never mean-spirited. ❤️
Little Emil lives on the Katthult farm near the town of Lönneberga in Lindgren's native province of Småland, with the stories are set at the turn of 20th century.
Lindgren (1907-2002) came up with the character through interactions with her grandson at a time when he was three years old. When she told him a tale of Emil, it would instantly calm him down when he was crying. An idea for a new book arose! ✍️
Lively and open, Emil became one of the characters Lindgren liked the most herself. She used her father Samuel August Eriksson and her older brother Gunnar as influences when she created Emil.
