About Love
April, year 1903. Samuel August made this promise to Hanna:
“I always live with you, in my thoughts and deeds, yes, I always want to live completely for you.”
And he has kept this promise, their daughter – Astrid Lindgren said in her book:
Samuel August from Sevedstorp and Hanna i Hult (EN) Das Entschwundene Land (DE)
The book begins with this sentence:
About Story and Song
In chapter three: It started in Kristin’s kitchen , Astrid described her relationship with books. Where they met each other? In Kristin’s Kitchen! How their begun? Read the book. 😉
It made me smile when read about the young Astrid had to sing songs to her baby sister so that her sister could sleep. It was a dilemma to Astrid, because Astrid preferred read. But the clever talented Astrid sang the story she’s reading to her baby sister. Dilemma solved, the baby could sleep, Astrid could read, and the wonderous remedy was SONG!
About Adventure
The most boundless of all adventures
As I read the title of this chapter, I was asking myself, which adventure could it be?
After reading this chapter, the answer was so heart-warming and happiness tears wet my eyes.
I invite you to guess which adventure did Astrid say?
Anyway, the answer is available if you read the book 😊
This is the book that I will reread again and again, especially when I feel hopeless and disappointed. Thank you Astrid Lindgren!
