But the shadow of the tyrant Tengil is looming large, hailing from the land of Karmanjaka, where he is about to build a fortress into the age-old mountain of mountains. A battle between good and bad, and a story about fear and courage, about the battle for freedom, and about death begins.
When Lindgren’s book was released, it fuelled a debate about whether death was an appropriate subject for a children’s book. The children themselves, however, loved it from day one and felt happy and comforted by the story.
They want to celebrate a fantastic, exciting night out on Christmas Day with you and your families. Actor Inga Busch, whom many of you will know as the reporter Karla Kolumna from the Bibi-Blocksberg films, will read from the book and tell the story, with resident musician Sir Henry providing the musical background.
Recommended for children aged 6+, who are already attending school.
