Barbro Lindgren (born 18 March 1937) is a Swedish writer of children's literature and books for adult readers.[1] For her lasting contribution as a children's writer, Lindgren was a finalist for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2004.[2] Ten years later, she won the annual Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.[3] The biggest cash prize in children's and young-adult literature, it rewards a writer, illustrator, oral storyteller, or reading promoter for its entire body of work.[4]

Life

[edit | edit source]

Barbro Enskog was born in Bromma, Stockholm. She graduated from art school in 1958 and has been writing books for publication since 1965. Her style has exerted a major influence on Swedish children's literature. Located between realism and surrealism, her works are humorous and imaginative, and her books for children treat important issues to be taken seriously and treated for children.

Lindgren won the 1973 Astrid Lindgren Prize, an annual Swedish literary award distinct from the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. The once-in-a-lifetime award established on Astrid Lindgren's 60th birthday honours good writing for children or youth.[5] Barbro Lindgren's long-time collaborator,[3] the illustrator Eva Eriksson (born 1949), won the prize in 2001.[5]
