There's no one Karl Lion loves more than his older brother,
Jonathan, who is brave, strong, and handsome - everything Karl
believes he is not. Karl never wants to be parted from him. But
Karl is sick, and knows he's going to die. To comfort him, Jonathan
tells him stories of Nangiyala, the wonderful place he'll be going
to when he dies, and where he will wait until Jonathan is ready to
join him there. Then the unthinkable happens . . . Jonathan is
killed in an accident. Heartbroken, Karl longs for the day he'll be
reunited with his brother. When the time comes, he finds Nangiyala
just as wonderful as he'd imagined. However, Nangiyala is under
threat. A cruel tyrant is determined to claim it as his own, and at
his command is a terrible beast that is feared throughout the land.
Karl must summon all of his courage to help his brother prepare for
the battle that lies ahead . . . 'I adored Astrid Lindgren as a
child' Francesca Simon, author of the 'Horrid Henry' books.

children are tucked up in bed. Their mamas and their papas too --
Everyone should go to sleep, now that night is near." It's bedtime,
and across the land everyone is settling down to sleep. The cows
are lying down in their fields, the rabbits are snug in their
burrows, and the birds are resting on their branches. Except
someone isn't quite ready to close their eyes just yet... A curious
cat gently wanders through midsummer fields, forests and dusky
Swedish landscapes as the sun slowly sets. When will he be ready to
sleep? Written by Astrid Lindgren, the bestselling author of Pippi
Longstocking, and accompanied by luminous artwork from
award-winning illustrator Marit Toernqvist, this soothing story is
perfect for sharing with young children at bedtime.
One beautiful spring day in Sweden, Goran the bull charges

down. Then Karl, the farm boy, has a brave idea. Can the little boy
save the day? A charming, traditional story from Astrid Lindgren,
bestselling author of Pippi Longstocking, with illustrations from
acclaimed Swedish artist Marit Toernqvist. Her delicate depictions
of wooden houses, characterful villagers and silver birch trees
wonderfully evoke the spirit of a Swedish farm from long ago.

tricks to looping the loop and running across the rooftops. Fun and
chaos burst from these charming, classic stories.
Smidge is used to Karlsson, the funny little man with a propeller

bathroom, celebrate Karlsson's birthday, and Karlsson is mistaken
for a spy!
The day the Melkerson family arrive on Seacrow Island, it's a bit
of a shock to their system. It's so quiet there-none of the shops
and bustle they're used to. And the cottage they've rented for the
summer is a little bit well ... basic. But what Seacrow Island does
have is woods to wander in, fish to catch, boats to sail in, and
all kinds of animals. And before long they find it has even more
important things, too-adventure, fun, exploration, friends. Perhaps
it's going to be leaving that's the really hard thing?

children's classic first appeared in 1945. Astrid once commented,
'I write to amuse the child within me, and can only hope that other
children may have some fun that way, too.' When she was growing up,
Lauren Child loved Astrid Lindgren's books. She remembers: 'I
discovered Pippi when I was about eight years old and found her
completely inspiring.' Known and loved as the creator of some
equally feisty little girls - notably Clarice Bean and Lola -
Lauren has brought her own inimitable style to this
beautifully-illustrated edition of Pippi Longstocking.
