Astrid Lindgren wrote four books featuring the Six Bullerby Children (in the US released as The Children of Noisy Village):
All About the Bullerby Children Cherry Time at Bullerby Six Bullerby Children Springtime at BullerbyIt was originally published in 1947 in Sweden. It has since been translated into 39 languages[1] and published in many countries including the United States and the United Kingdom.
The houses of Bullerby (in reality Sevedstorp), 2009These books are about six children living in a tiny, remote village in Sweden and are set in the late 1930s, a relatively calm time in Sweden, although a war "starting soon" is sometimes briefly mentioned in newspapers the children are reading. The agricultural world is still in a pre-industrial state (no tractors or harvesters) and the arrival of a car is a big event, because the road ends there. School and shops are ailable in Storby, the large village nearby.
The narrator is a young girl named Lisa, who tells about her life and adventures in the small and neat Swedish village Bullerby. The village consists of three lined up houses in which live seven children with their parents and housekeepers: Lisa with her older brothers Lasse and Bosse, the siblings Britta and Anna, as well as Olle with his younger sister Kerstin.
Bullerby is represented by the small village of Sevedstorp where Lindgren's father grew up (10 miles from her hometown of Vimmerby and the village of Näs, where she was born).
