Vimmerby’s Astrid Lindgren When Astrid Anna Emilia Ericsson was born on 14 November 1907 on the farm Näs outside Vimmerby who would have thought what she would become. Even if there were signs. She was a lively girl, physically and intellectually. She was quick on her legs and in her thoughts, with an agile body and imagination. Adventurous and playful. A talented storyteller already as a child.
Amongst slides, games and motocross bikes For many years, Magnus Frodig and Maria Carlsson’s home was filled with motorcycles and different kinds of projects. Enthusiasts from all over Europe came to the couple’s home to see the big collection of unique vehicles. With a new family, it was a lot to have at home, and the solution was to move to new premises, a solution that became the start of something much bigger.
Where stories come to life Villekulla Cottage is real. Noisy Village, Matt’s Fort and most of the other places from Astrid Lindgren’s stories also exist. They are collected in one and the same place: in Astrid Lindgren’s World in Vimmerby.
The place where it all started Astrid Anna Emilia was born on 14 November 1907 here on the farm Näs. Astrid was the second of four siblings. It was her and her siblings who, together with the cowherd’s children and the children from the vicarage next door, were the real children of Noisy Village. Today you are welcome to visit the exhibitions, the childhood home and the gardens of Astrid Lindgrens Näs.
