Caption: Astrid’s best friend was Anne-Marie Ingeström, who was called Madicken – a name Astrid later reused for one of her main characters. Anne-Marie lived in a house called Tuvelyckan near Näs. They met when they were seven years old, when Anne-Marie was rolling a barrel hoop and Astrid asked where she was going. Astrid followed her home to the house, and from that day on they continued to follow each other.
