“A lovely tale from Astrid Lindgren, starring Erik Lindgren as a young boy in an orphanage. Rasmus is a friendly kid that seems to get in trouble no matter what he does. He really wants a family and when the latest adoptive parents pick another child, Rasmus decides to run away from the home. He'll find his own family. On his travels he meets a street person, that takes him under his wing and together they sing their way along their journey, earning money for their busking. A beautiful tale, one worth owning. Its easy to follow even with no subtitles.”
Astrid Lindgrens barndom på gården Näs i Vimmerby, Småland, strax efter sekelskiftet var en lycklig tid, med föräldrarnas kärlek som en ständig trygghet. Astrid och de tre syskonen lekte ivrigt på den fantastiska lekplats Näs var. Men dagarna bestod inte enbart av lek, all arbetskraft behövdes på ett lantbruk och barnen Ericsson delade slitet med pigor och drängar. Det var i köket hos lagårdskarlens dotter Edit Astrid fick höra den saga som först väckte hennes läshunger – en lust till böcker som varade livet igenom. I skolan är Astrid duktig på att skriva och blir kallad för Vimmerbys Selma Lagerlöf efter att ha fått en uppsats publicerad i Vimmerby Tidning – där hon senare också får arbete
