(Translation: Twenty Kronor, National Bank of Sweden, `I want to write for readers who can perform miracles. Only children perform miracles when they read. That`s why children need books.` `A childhood without books – that would be no childhood. That would be like being shut out from the enchanted place where you can go and find the rarest kind of joy`, `Perhaps you shall go home now, Pippi said, so that you can come back again tomorrow. Because if you don’t go home, then you can`t come back. And that would be a shame.`, `Oh my dearest little squiggle. Don`t let me grow any biggle.`)
