Our town, Vimmerby, is sometimes called Astrid Lindgren's town just because Astrid happened to be born here a long time ago, just after the dinosaurs became extinct, we believe. She's just about the only famous person to come from Vimmerby... so far. We're planning to change all that.
Anyway, if you want to read more about Astrid, click here.

Vimmerby
In southern Sweden there is a town called Vimmerby. Sixteen thousand people live in the city and twentytwo thousand in the municipality. We have a fine theme park here. It’s called Astrid Lindgren’s World. A lot of tourists come in the summer. You can say that Astrid Lindgren’s World is a pride of Vimmerby. In Vimmerby there is also a party-place called Sandra. All the teenagers go there to have fun. I like Vimmerby because the town is nice and clean. There are funny and nice people here too.
