A gift box with four lesser-known short stories by Astrid Lindgren.

Novellix, the book publisher, introduces some of Astrid’s lesser-known short stories: The sad story of Märit, the fantasy short stories Tu tu tu! and In the Land of Twilight and the sublime short story, The Princess who did not want to play (in Swedish). Märit – Märit is one of Astrid Lindgren’s saddest stories in which an eight-year-old girl, insignificant in the eyes of many, lives her last days hoping to get noticed by Jonas Petter, the boy who gave her a small gift box. The short story was first published in 1950 in the short story collection Kajsa Kavat and shows Lindgren’s ability to describe the significance of death through the actions of a child. Tu tu tu! One night, when a wolf slaughters a sheep in the small village of Kapela, the people wake up in sadness, especially Stina Maria and her grandfather. Not long after, the little girl is drawn down into the afterlife and reunited with the sheep, but now Stina Maria is a prisoner among the mysterious creatures. The afterlife then recurs in Astrid Lindgren’s well-known story of Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter. Tu tu tu! was first published in the Sunnanäng collection of short stories in 1959. The Princess who doesn’t want to play - Princess Lise-lotta thinks playing is boring. Not until she meets Maja, and her wooden lump of a doll, does she understand that she is not the only one in the world who is so small and that there is something better in the world than all the fancy toys given to her by the Queen. The princess who did not want to play came out for the first time in 1949 in the Nils Karlsson Pyssling collection. In The Land of Twilight – in the predecessor to Astrid Lindgren’s story Karlsson on the roof, together with Göran, we fly out the window with Mr. Liljonkvast on an adventure in The Land of Twilight, where nothing matters, and everything is possible. It is a story about a child’s pain and imagination in a familiar Stockholm environment that Astrid Lindgren originally wrote for radio, but which was published in the Nils Karlsson Pyssling short story collection in 1949.
