The Astrid Lindgren Prize for Katherine Paterson

The American children's book author Katherine Paterson has won the Swedish literature prize dedicated to the memory of Astrid Lindgren. The jury explained its decision saying that Paterson manages to capture the harsh realities of American life in her books. US correspondent Karin Henriksson met the author, whose books often have a historical setting or are set in other countries. "Children in America know nothing about history. Historical tales are a wonderful means for waking their interest in history, but it's important to tell a simple story. When you compare children's books with adult books, the latter are like symphonies, whereas I write solos for the recorder. I ask the same questions children ask: about life, death, and what it's like to love someone else."
