A personality from Astrid Lindgren’s universe is moving into the limelight – a personality whose complex character has been underestimated for a long time: Emil Svensson from Lönneberga, who is called “Michel” here because confusion with Erich Kästner’s Emil Tischbein should be avoided.

If one considers Michel not as a literary figure, but as a being based on Astrid Lindgren’s beloved father Samuel August, a real Michel would be at least twice as old. But Michel is, judging by his deeds, a timeless personality.
