These personal diaries kept by Astrid Lindgren, author of the world
famous Pippi Longstocking books, chronicle the horrors of World War
II. Before she became internationally known for her Pippi
Longstocking books, Astrid Lindgren was an aspiring author living
in Stockholm with her family at the outbreak of the Second World
War. The diaries she kept throughout the hostilities offer a
civilian's, a mother's, and an aspiring writer's unique account of
the devastating conflict. She emerges as a morally courageous
critic of violence and war, as well as a deeply sensitive and
astute observer of world affairs. We hear her thoughts about
rationing, blackouts, the Soviet invasion of Finland, and the
nature of evil, as well as of her personal heartbreaks, financial
struggles, and trials as a mother and writer. Posthumously
published in Sweden to great international acclaim, these diaries
were called in the Swedish press an "unparalleled war narrative,"
"unprecedented." and a "shocking history lesson." Illustrated with
family photographs, newspaper clippings, and facsimile pages,
Lindgren's diaries provide an intensely personal and vivid account
of Europe during the war.
