Junibacken

This guide to Junibacken in Stockholm opens with the island's older identity as a royal hunting park before tracing how Astrid Lindgren herself shaped the story house that opened here in 1996, on the condition it not be only about her own characters. You'll hear about the train ride's cast, from a tree-climbing cow named Mamma Moo to Emil and Karlsson, and about the full-scale cottage waiting at the end of the line. It follows how a fenced deer park became a place built entirely around children's stories.
