Astrid was a spirited Swedish girl who grew up working on her family farm, a talented writer who was asked to do intern work at the newspaper.
The story of her childhood is interwoven with the voices of children who wrote letters to the aging Astrid telling her how much her stories meant to them. "You understand children so much," one wrote. "How can you know so much about children when it's been so long since you were one?"
A poignant story with remarkable actors (young Astrid herself and a boy who is two-years-old), it's wonderful from start to finish-- a few scenes of which are after the credits roll.
