Life

Inger Sandberg's breakthrough came in 1964 with the first book about Susi (Lilla Anna), which she wrote for her unborn child.

Just like his siblings, the boy, Mathias, appeared in several stories. After the success of the Susi books, Inger Sandberg wrote the book Laban won't ghost ( Lilla spöket Laban ) about the Laban ghost. Many other books on the ghost followed, but only the first was translated into German. The animated series Laban, the little ghost was shot in 2006 about the ghost .
