A review by kairin16
Madita by Astrid Lindgren
3.0
This is a collection of short stories focused on a seven-year-old Madikken and her younger sister Lisabeth. They're all very sweet and despite the wild ideas the older girl gets sometimes, all end happily and with a clear message to the kids reading.
I would be happier with some more insight into background characters like the Nielssen family and Linus-Ida, but as the stories are written from Madik's point of view it makes sense for us to learn only as much as she knew at the time.
The children-like logic and the sense of adventure is readily present and my only complain towards the book is that it's somewhat too short to get satisfied with all that these kids get up to.
