Christmas in the Stable by Astrid Lindgren. AKA Astrid Anna Emilia Ericsson Lindgren. Born: 14-Nov-1907 Birthplace: Vimmerby, Died: 28-Jan-2002 Location of death: Stockholm, Sweden Cause of death: Illness Remains: Buried, Vimmerby Kyrkog�rd, Vimmerby, Sweden. Gender: Female Religion: Christian Race or Ethnicity: White Sexual orientation: Straight Occupation: Author. Nationality: Sweden Executive summary: . Astrid Ericsson grew up on her parents' farm, and loved reading, especially books with female protagonists, like Anne of Green Gables and the Pollyanna stories. She began writing for her local newspaper at 14, but at 18 she became pregnant and fled to Stockholm, where she bore her son and worked in the offices of the Royal Automobile Club. At 24 she married a co-worker, Sture Lindgren, and they adopted her 4-year-old son. She later worked for Swedish intelligence for several years. She is best known for her second book, Pippi Longstocking , about a cheeky pigtailed nine-year-old with no parents to tell her what to do, whose antics shock adults and have delighted millions of children. Pippi's adventures, the author said, evolved out of bedtime stories told to her daughter Karin (who made up the character's whimsical name). Lindgren wrote dozens of books for children, filled with bright, strong-willed children who think for themselves, including Emil of Maple Hill, detective Bill Bergson, and Ronia the Robber's Daughter. While her books slowly earned recognition and were translated into dozens of languages, she worked until the early 1970s in the offices of her publisher, Rab�n & Sj�gren, as an editor. In the 1960s she was an outspoken opponent of the Vietnam war. In the 1970s she spoke out against high taxes levied on upper incomes by Sweden, after receiving a tax bill larger than her income, and her protests (and writing) on the topic were credited by some with toppling the Social Democrats after forty years in power. In the 1980s she called for laws forbidding animal overcrowding in agriculture, which led to the passage of legislation (named for her) establishing rules for livestock care. Her books have been translated in 89 languages, and she is the namesake of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, presented annually for outstanding contributions to children's literature.

A mother takes her daughter on her knee before the fire and tells her of the first Christmas in this simple but perceptive holiday story from the pen of Astrid Lindgren. The story of that first Christmas is set "long ago and far away," but this is something of which the child knows nothing. "She knew only their own farm and a few yesterdays. And so as her mother spoke, the child saw everything as if it were hapening in their own stable. Perhaps even now." As the mother proceeds to unfold the Nativity Story in simple and direct language, her daughter imagines it all, giving it a distinctly Swedish cast in her mind. Originally published in Sweden in 1961 as Jul i stallet , this lovely picture-book captures an important aspect of the Christmas story - of all stories, really - that every person interprets what they hear in light of their own personal and individual experience. Children in particular, having less life experience than their elders, will use what they know and what experience they do have, to make sense of what they are told. In the case of the girl in the story, it is rural Sweden which informs her vision of the Christmas narrative. Lindgren, ever a champion of the dignity of the child, demonstrates that this is both natural and beneficial, giving the tale an immediacy and meaning for the girl that would have otherwise been lacking. Reading Christmas In the Stable yesterday was a distinct pleasure, both from a textual and an aesthetic standpoint, as the accompanying artwork by illustrator Harald Wiberg, who also worked on Lindgren's The Tomten and The Tomten and the Fox , is luminously beautiful. The use of light here is outstanding, and every scene had me stopping, poring over the page, rereading that bit of text, and then poring over the page again. Favorites would have to be the initial scene, in which the mother holds her daughter on her lap: And the one in which the shepherds watch the Baby Jesus in the stable: Simply beautiful! Recommended most strongly to Harald Wiberg fans, and to anyone looking for beautiful retellings of the Nativity, in which the story is transformed according to the vision of the audience.
