  • What Adult Swedish and Canadian Readers Told Us
    Reading L.M. Montgomery: What Adult Swedish and Canadian Readers Told Us DOI https://doi.org/10.32393/jlmms/2020.0004 Published on Wed, 05/13/2020 - 13:24 This article provides an international comparison of the role of reading L.M Montgomery in the lives of adult leisure readers in Sweden and Canada. Our analysis of open-ended qualitative interviews with Canadian readers and written accounts submitted by Swedish readers focuses on ten themes, all linked by the powerful current of emotion evoked in avid Montgomery readers. Back to top Introduction When one of us, Catherine Ross, gave a talk at the 2018 L.M. Montgomery and Reading conference, she discussed nine themes on reading Montgomery that emerged from her open-ended, qualitative interviews with 307 avid recreational readers in Canada. At the end of the presentation, during questions from the audience, the other of us, Åsa Warnqvist, noted that in her own research on reading Montgomery she had collected 303 reader statements from Montgomery readers in Sweden. These readers had responded to Warnqvist’s request, posted in libraries in Sweden and in the four major Swedish newspapers, for accounts of readers’ experiences reading Montgomery. The concordance of our findings was striking. At the end of the talk, the two of us converged to marvel at the remarkable similarity in the responses between Swedish and Canadian readers. On the spot, we decided to compare the experiences of Swedish and Canadian readers of Montgomery, teasing out similarities and possible differences. L.M.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Vi Pa Saltkrakan by Astrid Lindgren
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Vi på Saltkråkan by Astrid Lindgren Vi på Saltkråkan. Gå ner till Strandvägskajen i Stockholm en sommarmorgon och se om där ligger en liten vit skärgårdsbåt med namnet Saltkråkan I. Om det gör det så är det bara att gå ombord. Prick klockan tio kommer hon att klämta till avgång för nu ska hon ut på sin vanliga färd, den som slutar vid öarna ytterst i havsbandet. Där ligger Saltkråkan, ön som har gett henne sitt namn. Och dit kom en dag i juni en far och hans fyra barn, det var familjen Melkerson… Astrid Lindgren skrev ursprungligen Vi på Saltkråkan som ett TV-manus för Sveriges Television. Boken baseras på den otroligt populära TV- serien, som även fick fyra efterföljande filmer. Inspiration till skärgårdsmiljöerna hämtade Astrid främst från sitt sommarställe i Furusund. Vi på Saltkråkan. Sommaren i Stockholms skärgård bjuder på många spännande äventyr med fisknättjuvar, skattjakter, sjönöd, sälräddning och mycket annat dråpligt och lagom hemskt. Flickan Tjorven bor på ön Saltkråkan i Stockholms skärgård tillsammans med sin hund Båtsman, sina föräldrar Nisse och Märta och sina storasystrar Teddy och Freddy. När det blir sommar flyttar Stockholmsfamiljen Melkerson in i fru Sjöbloms stuga Snickargården, och Tjorven lär känna den jämnårige pojken Pelle, hans storebröder Niklas och Johan, pappan och änklingen Melker samt hans dotter Malin, äldsta barnet i familjen och något av en mamma åt de yngre syskonen. När det blir vinter och jul återvänder Pelle och hans familj till Saltkråkan, men när det återigen blir sommar verkar det som att familjen Melkerson kommer att bli av med stugan.

  • Where Fairy Tales Come True
    2 Where fairy tales come true illekulla Cottage really does exist. Just like Noisy Village, Matt’s VCastle and many of the other places Astrid Lindgren wrote about in her books. They’re all here in Astrid Lindgren’s World. In these storybook settings we perform scenes from Astrid’s best loved books every day. More than 60 of her most popular children’s characters transform Astrid Lindgren’s World into a magical land of make-believe and entertainment. You can also meet the characters for yourself and join in their fun and games between performances: Pippi in Villekulla Cottage, Emil in Katthult, Ronja in Matt’s Castle and Karlsson on his roof. The other characters, too, are usually at home – except Rasmus, of course, who is almost always on the run from the children’s home. A visit here is like stepping inside the world of Astrid Lindgren’s books. So take your children by the hand and enjoy the real-life adventures awaiting you – just like Astrid Lindgren describes them. 3 4 The stage is set for fun njoy live entertainment all day long, both on the stage and in the form Eof improvisations around the park. Specially written song and dance numbers based on Astrid Lindgren’s stories are performed on the Lilla Scenen stage just inside the entrance and on the main Stora Scenen stage in Wild Rose Valley every day. Between performances you can meet the characters in the various places where they live – and that’s where the fun really starts! For example, if you want to go to Wild Rose Valley, you may be stopped by Tengil’s soldiers at the gate.
