Astrid Lindgrens Värld
August 19, 2007
A visit to The World of Astrid Lindgren
-the author of Pippi Longstocking and many, many more stories.
Here, the grown-ups feel like giants.
This place belongs to our little ones.
-Even the cobble stone is miniature!
This is the small village of Bullerbyn
(compare to the movie intro on YouTube)
the house of Pippi, Villa Villekulla
Ronja Rövardotter and her castle
hear the bandits sing (2923 kB movie file)
The bridge in Körsbärsdalen
Not every thing is small, though.
No need to fight, kids - there's enough rocking horses for everyone!
You don't wanna get lost in here...if you're short.
A small version of Vimmerby, as it once looked when Astrid Lindgren grew up here.
The real Vimmerby, as it looks today. Still cute, still cobblestone.
Continuing our tradition of having artichoke after a roadtrip :-)
