While waiting for her aunt in front of a store on a winter day, Lisabet sees Gustav, a neighborhood boy, hiding behind a sled without the driver knowing. He thinks he is so important that he tells the little girl that he would never have the courage to do something like that. But that is exactly what Lisabet needs. How could she not have courage? Why does everyone think she is still a little girl? Look, now she will hide behind a sled too. It's not even hard if you hold on tight. And it's amazing to glide through the snowy town with the sound of bells. But the sled goes faster and faster, leaving behind houses and racing out of the town like the wind. Where is it going? How will Lisabet get back home to her mother, father, and older sister, Madicken?
Astrid Lindgren (1907–2002) is the most famous Swedish author of children's literature. The childhood she spent on her parents' farm, next to her brother and two sisters, the love that surrounded her, the childhood adventures, and games were an inexhaustible source of inspiration for her stories and characters. Astrid Lindgren grew up with books and was an advocate for reading among children. "A childhood without books is not a childhood. It is like being displaced from the magical place where you can find joy in its purest form." Her books have been translated into dozens of languages and have been the subject of many adaptations. After the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, Astrid Lindgren is the most translated author of children's literature.
