Illustrated by Björn Berg
That boy Emil from Lönneberga, he got up to mischief almost every day. But Emil was the sort of boy who never had to play the same trick twice because he could always think of a new one. Like the time he hoisted his little sister Ida up the flagpole. Or the time he rode his horse Lukas right into the grand hall where the Mayor was giving a party. It made everybody laugh except the Mayor... And whatever do you think happened to Emil then?

During her lifetime, Astrid Lindgren was awarded dozens of Swedish and international prizes for her writing, among them the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen medal in 1958 : widely considered the ultimate accolade for an author of children's books. Astrid Lindgren was born in 1907. Pippi Longstocking was published in Sweden in 1945 and was an instant success with children. She died in 2002.

Björn Berg was born in 1923 in Bavaria to Swedish parents. From the age of three he lived in New York before returning to Sweden in 1935. Björn Berg decided early on that he wanted to become an artist and went to Paris and was taught by among others Fernand Leger and André Lhote. From 1952 he has been a newspaper artist for Dagens
Nyheter. In addition he illustrated the 'Emil' books and movie posters, as well as the 'Mrs. Pepperpot' books by the Norwegian writer Alf Proysen. Berg's work has also featured on stamps issued by the Swedish postal
services and some of his illustrations were also exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm at the end of 2004.
