Little stubborn Lotta in the yellow house on Troublemaker Street is both well known and popular, thanks to Astrid Lindgren’s books and movies. The first book came out in 1961, but The Children on Troublemaker Street had already been a series in the children’s magazine, Klumpe Dumpe, since the end of the 1950s.
