Christmas in Sweden

Astrid Lindgren's stories have shaped our dreams of Christmas, and the festive meal always plays an important role in them. In this beautifully illustrated cookbook, filled with photos, the Christmas season begins with the children from Bullerbü baking gingerbread. We then follow Lindgren's beloved characters and their own traditions through the holidays, culminating in Pippi Longstocking's raid on the Christmas tree to conclude the celebrations. We learn the recipes for classic Christmas dishes and sweets, and how celebrations were held in Småland, at Katthult, in Bullerbü, and Junibacken, but especially at the Näs farm, where Lindgren spent her childhood.
