When you think of courage, associations with the Brothers Lionheart and Cherry Tree Valley are inevitable. Perhaps especially for little Crusty, who, despite feeling so scared and small, has incredible bravery when it counts. But courage is something that characterises many of Astrid Lindgren\u2019s story heroes. Madicken, Ronja, Pippi and Emil are all characters with a strong sense of justice, which is often expressed through their courageous actions. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n\t<div class=\"flex flex-col w-full m-auto py-7 gap-7 inner-contain\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-aos=\"\" data-aos-duration=\"\" class=\"flex relative items-center justify-between w-full m-auto tablet:w-3\/4 tablet-sm:w-full tablet:flex-col-reverse desktop-sm:px-4 gap-7 flex-row-reverse\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col items-start justify-center w-full gap-5 max-w-[40%] tablet:max-w-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"-demi text-darkGreen\">The garden terraces of courage<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-black text-[20px]\">In the garden room of courage, we open gates, climb stairs, cross footbridge.
