Well, I've only moved to Scandinavia 3 years ago, and I knew Lindgren's literature quite well before that . And so do many people in the countries I used to live in.Syncratic wrote: I don't think she is particularly well known outside of Scananavia. No more than Tove Jansson, who I personally feel is much more of stronger author.
Although maybe she wasn't famous in the UK, so I can understand you
PS: Tove Jansson is quite fabulous, too
