About the performers:
Astrid Lindgren (1907–2002) created such unforgettable characters as Pippi Longstocking and Emil from Lönneberga. Among other honors, she was awarded the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade.

Katrin Engelking, born in 1970, works as a freelance illustrator. For Oetinger, she gave Pippi Longstocking a new look, among other projects. She lives with her family in Hamburg.

Cäcilie Heinig, born in 1882 in Koschmin near Danzig, came from a Jewish family. In 1933, she emigrated with her husband and children, first to Copenhagen and then, in 1940, to Stockholm.
