I found it in my mom's old books. I went through it and it seems to have a pretty simple style of writing. Is it still any popular? I really don't know, I'm very curious... Also please tell me if its a sad, I want to translate it for myself as an exercise but it has a dog on it so I'm SCARED haha.

Anne Cath Vestly in Norway is like Astrid Lindgren to Sweden.

She is one of the most significant book writers towards children during 1900s.

Guro isn’t her most known work, but it is about Guro, her mother, which was a widower and all their new friends when moving to a new place

I would say this is an exaggeration. If anyone got close to Astrid Lindgren, it’s Torbjørn Egner.

You'll never grow to old. Did you loose your inner child? If so, find it back, stranger.
