If you’re a mystery reader I highly recommend Henning Mankell, who until recently was more popular in Europe and not even published in English. I first encountered him in German. Anyway, he’s also written some socially conscious books about Africa, at least one of which is on this list.

Thanks so much for this very interesting list. Looks like I’ll be stocking up on some Astrid Lindgren :)

All the books on this list are (naturally) in Swedish on the original list. I’ve tried to add as many as possible in English to make it more accessible – and because of the simple fact that English titles more often have pictures and makes the list nicer to look at.
