Happy Times in Noisy Village

The kids of Noisy Village return in another rolicking adventure from the beloved author of Pippi Longstocking!

Noisy Village is a small place. With just three farmhouses and six children, it's easy to think that not much happens there. But the boisterous and adventurous children, including eight-year-old Lisa, the intrepid narrator, have loads of happy times. In this book they'll go on sleigh rides, celebrate Easter, and go on a treasure hunt!

From the beloved author Astrid Lindgren, Happy Times in Noisy Village will delight and inspire readers of all ages. Whether familiar with Pippi Longstocking or new to the Lindgren books, readers young and old will have a blast reading about the antics of Lisa and her friends. With beautiful black-and-white illustrations from Mini Grey, good times abound in Noisy Village!
Astrid Lindgren (1907–2002) was born in Sweden. Her most famous and beloved book, Pippi Longstocking, was originally published in Swedish in 1945 and has since been translated into 80 languages. It was followed by two sequels, Pippi Goes on Board and Pippi in the South Seas.
The success of Pippi Longstocking led to a rapid growth of the publishing house Rabén & Sjögren, where Astrid Lindgren took over responsibility for children's book publishing and thus had dual roles: she was a writer in the mornings and an editor in the afternoons.

Astrid Lindgren had a long and prolific career, writing songs, screenplays, 34 chapter books, and 41 picture books. Her works have sold a staggering 170 million copies worldwide and been translated into more than 100 languages.

The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, a literary prize established in her memory, has been awarded annually since 2003. The prize is worth five million SEK, making it the world’s largest international award for children and young adult literature. View titles by Astrid Lindgren
