She was born in Vimmerby in the province of Småland, in Southern Sweden where she grew up on a farm. Astrid was the second of four children of Samuel August, a tenant farmer, and Hanna Jonsson Ericsson. During their childhood years, they were nurtured into storytelling, and were taught how to use their imagination and creativity in the world of literature. Her childhood years were full of love and laughter. Many of the settings and characters in Lindgren’s books can be traced back to her own childhood. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" height=\"240x240\" width=\"240x240\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/5226\/7687\/files\/A.Lindgren_manuscript_square_240x240.jpg?v=1630345543\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLindgren submitted a revised version of the manuscript to the annual Rabén \u0026amp; Sjögren (publishers) writing contest, where it won first prize.
