Welcome to the Astrid Lindgren jubilee site of Vimmerby municipality!

On this homepage you can read everything about how the birth town of Astrid Lindgren celebrated 2007 - the year she would have turned 100 years.


The thought behind the jubilee was to shine a light on Astrid Lindgren as one of the most successful authors of children’s books in the world. We also wanted to show how she cared about children’s rights, animals, nature and peace.
