The Children of the Noisy Village

Welcome to Noisy Village! Go crayfishing in the summer at Nocken, "dipping the pot" at Christmastime with Lisa and Karl, and join Britta and Anna who know the best way to go about "nutting" for the New Year. In this gently humorous tale, master storyteller Astrid Lindgren takes us through a year in the lives and customs of six Swedish children living in a group of tree farms in the countryside.
