Lin Gelun was born in 1907 in a peasant family in Smolan province, Sweden. I went to Stockholm to study in the 1920s. From 1946 to 1970, he was the editor-in-chief of the children's department of Lamy and Sioglen Publishing Company, which initiated the golden age of Swedish children's literature.
Like many famous children's literature works, Pippi Longstocking, which made Lin Gelun famous in the world, originated from her telling stories to her sick 7-year-old daughter Karin. Pippi's name was blurted out by Karin. This little girl with red hair, endless strength, playful and adventurous, not only has a strange hobby of wearing black socks and brown socks, but also has a long and strange full name: Pipluda Victoria Rugedia Crumonda Ephraim stockings. 1944, Lin Gelun wrote Pippi's Story as a birthday present for her daughter 10. 1945, Lin Gelun took part in the children's book competition organized by Lamy and Sioglen Publishing Company with a slight modification, and won the first prize. The book was a great success as soon as it was published. There are three books about Pippi, which have been reprinted many times and become the best-selling children's books in Swedish history. The book has been translated into more than 30 languages, with a total circulation of over100000 copies.
