Never Violence!

The world is very familiar with Astrid Lindgren the children's writer. Her role as an opinion former is less widely known. This speech, delivered when she collected the German Booksellers' Peace Prize in Frankfurt in 1978, appears in a new anthology focusing on Astrid Lindgren as an opinion former and campaigner.
