Monument to Astrid Lindgren

The sculpture of the famous Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren is located in Stockholm, next to the children's fairy tale museum Unibaken, which is dedicated to the work of Swedish writers and named after one of the works of Lindgren. The famous writer also took part in the creation of the museum.

The Lindgren Bronze Monument was erected in 1996 by Swedish sculptor Gert Hillfon. Astrid Lindgren is pictured holding a book in her hand, with the inscription in the book reading: "Å Nangilima ja Jonatan ja jag ser ljuset." These are the concluding lines from the novella “The Lionheart Brothers”, which one of the characters says, saying that he sees the light.

Astrid Lindgren was the first woman to be erected a monument during her lifetime, she attended its grand opening.
