Hans Aanrud
Norwegian author Hans Aanrud was born in 1863 in the valley of Auggedalen, in the province of Gausdal. Although he moved to Oslo after he began to enjoy some literary success, the rural life of his early years would inform much of his work. Aanrud wrote plays, poetry and stories, and is particularly remembered for children's books such as Sidsel Sidsærk (1903) and Sölve Solfeng (1910). Aanrud died in 1953. (source: Wikipedia)

By her own admission, Nöstlinger was a wild and angry child. After finishing high school, she wanted to become an artist, and studied graphic arts at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna. She worked as a graphic artist for a few years, before marrying a journalist, Ernst Nöstlinger, with whom she had two daughters.
The majority of Nöstlinger's production is literature for children and for young people, and she also writes for television, radio and newspapers. She centres on the needs of children in her work, with an anti-authoritarian bent. She does not shy away from tackling difficult subjects like racism, discrimination and self-isolation.
