Ronia, The Robber's Daughter
Ronia, The Robber's Daughter | Astrid Lindgren
15 posts | 39 read | 12 to read
Ronia lives with her father, a robber chieftain, and his band of men in their fortress on the top of a mountain. On the night Ronia was born, a bolt of lightning split the stronghold in two, leaving a huge chasm - Hell's Gap - in between. Soon Ronia is old enough to explore the forest around her, but she must beware of the grey dwarfs and wild harpies that live there. One day she meets Birk, the son of a rival robber leader who has claimed the other side of Hell's Gap, and upon whom Ronia's father instantly declares war. Ronia and Birk develop a friendship that is as indestructible as the mountain fortress itself. But with their families sworn enemies they are forced to keep their friendship a secret until one fateful day when Ronia's father catches Birk . . . prompting Ronia and Birk to escape into the woods and fend for themselves. How long can Ronia and Birk survive in the magical forest? And will their fathers ever put aside their differences to get their beloved children back?

#booktober day 5: the first book you read. well, Ronja isn't the first book, there were school books & short books, but I had it as a goal (it was a favorite bedtime read for bb anna) & read the fuck out of it once I could. Still the best children's book: "On the night that Ronja was born a thunderstorm was raging over the mountains, such a storm that all the goblinfolk in Matt's Forest crept back in terror into their holes and hiding places..."

Spent today weeding the front yard and rearranging house plants for maximum summer sun, all with Ronia‘s company.

On one hand, I would have loved the slightly old-fashioned survivalist feel of this book as a child. I loved the kids-on-their own trope of the Boxcar Children, etc.

On the other hand, it has some pretty questionable ideas about gender politics and family patriarchs that make it seem older than its 1981 pub date. #audiobook #kidlit

Den här boken är lika speciell för mig nu som den var när jag var mindre, men jag klarar av att läsa de lite mer 'läskigs' scenerna (som jag fick mardrömmar av när jag var yngre) utan problem nu. Den är verkligen tidlös och jag längtar till jag får läsa den för mina framtida barn/husdjur. #astridlindgren #ronjarövardotter #books

Prior to meeting my wife I really was not familiar with Astrid Lindgren's non-Pippi oeuvre. I have read and treasured so many of her wonderful stories and today especially, I am grateful to her. I ❤ you, 🇸🇪. 💔#aprilbookshowers #womenintranslation

#booktober day 24: Wish I Could Be There. Which makes no sense, because between the river, the animals, the gray dwarves and the harpies, it's not very human-friendly, and I'm not even outdoorsy, but I spent my entire childhood wishing I was in Mattisskogen, Matt's Forest. Looking for the wild horses, living in the Bear Cave. Holy shit I love this book so much.

silentrequiem I really need to read this... 7y
annamatopoetry @silentrequiem "On the night that Ronia was born a thunderstorm was raging over the mountains, such a storm that all the goblinfolk in Matt's Forest crept back in terror to their holes and hiding places. Only the fierce harpies preferred stormy weather to any other and flew, shrieking and hooting, around the robbers' stronghold... " I started it for you :) 7y

This was my favourite book when I was little. Lindgren has a way of writing about dark and deep subjects in a suitable way for children. I think this was the book that started my love for literature.

LeahBergen I've always wanted to read more Lindgren (other than the Pippi books). 8y
