Madicken
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Madicken is a fictional character created by the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren (b. 1907, d. 2002). Madicken appeared in six books, two movies, - Du är inte klok, Madicken (1979) and Madicken på Junibacken (1980) - and a TV Series (1979).
Her full name is Margareta Engström, but the only time anyone uses it is when admonishing her. Her mother is seemingly unemployed and her father is the editor-in-chief of the local newspaper, obviously making a respectable sum of money.
Du är inte klok Madicken is about a 7 year old girl from Sweden, during world war one. This movie is an adaptation of various episodes of the TV production "Madicken" which screened in 1979. Madicken på Junibacken follows a similar line.
The actress, Jonna Liljendahl (born 6 November 1970, Stockholm, Sweden), featured in the TV episodes as well as the subsequent movies.
The movies have been released with Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and German dialogue.
