Sweden – It may have gone out of fashion to lock your child in a wooden shed for educational reasons.

Astrid Lindgren’s figure of Flegels playing pranks was made into a film from 1971 and can rightly be understood as a Christmas classic on German screens.
“Michel from Lönneberga” at Christmas: A classic live on German TV
The book is said to have originated when Astrid Lindgren was supposed to supervise her three-year-old grandson. Since he was screaming with all his might, Astrid Lindgren asked the boy if he knew what Michel had done. To find out, the grandson had to be silent and listen. At some point Astrid Lindgren began to write down the stories about Michel.
