Children of Bullerbyn

Based on a text by Astrid Lindgren.

“My name is Lisa. I'm a girl. I think that's immediately apparent from the name. I am seven years old and will soon be eight.” Most likely, every adult knows the first sentences of “Children of Bullerbyn”; every adult is also jealous of the child who takes Astrid Lindgren's book in his hands for the first time.

Bullerbyn is a tiny village lying somewhere in the Swedish province. Tiny is too much to say; there are only three houses in it. Children and their parents live in each. But let's leave the adult world aside and focus on what is really in a nutshell: Lisa, Lasse, Bosse, Britta, Anna and Olle are a uniquely close-knit group of friends. In fact, it is difficult for them to endure without each other, although it is known that sometimes both girls and boys have their own ideas for fun. But you can have fun in Bullerbyn practically on any occasion and in hundreds of different ways, and each one seems better than the last!
