PRESCHOOL
Lindgren, Astrid

Most Beloved Sister

(4) PS Translated by Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard. Illustrated by Hans Arnold. The story of Barbara and her imaginary twin sister Lalla-Lee was published in Sweden in 1949 with Arnold's illustrations added in 1973, and is now newly translated into English. The twins have wonderfully childlike adventures that include eating all the caramels they want, owning matching poodles, and riding their swift horses. Arnold's elaborate illustrations, although a bit dated, suit the fanciful story.
