background
Marko in Yugoslavia is the seventh of a total of 15 books in the Children of Our Earth series . The book has been translated into many different languages, including English. In 1962 the book was first published in Sweden by Rabén & Sjögren . In the same year, the book was published in Germany by Oetinger Verlag. Marko in Yugoslavia is one of the few books in the series that was not published in Israel, where the books were particularly successful. The reason given was that the story is about a pig that is not considered kosher in Judaism and that is also hugged by Marko in the photos.
During their eleven years of correspondence, which also appeared in the book I Lived Too! Astrid Lindgren Louise Hartung wrote about the book. She stated that Anna Rikwin and the Yugoslav Legation wanted to take the photos in Dalmatia . On September 27, 1960, Lindgren traveled to Yugoslavia, where she first went on vacation with Louise Hartung, before meeting Anna Riwkin on October 4, 1960 to create the photo book. Initially, the photo book was supposed to take place in Lovran , later Riwkin decided to move it to Macedonia , as it still has something of the “original Balkans”. When Lindgren left Macedonia, however, Rivkin had barely started the book.
After completing the series, Lindgren explained that while working with Riwkin-Brick had made her friends, she no longer would like to like the books, especially Marko in Yugoslavia . She is not dissatisfied with the Riwkin-Brick photos, but rather with her own performance as an author.
