«Michel muß mehr Männchen machen» is Astrid Lindgren's children's novel, published by Oetinger Verlag in hardback (141 pages, in German).
Michel is a mischievous boy from Lönneberga who gets up to more pranks than anyone else in the village. Every time his father locks him in the carpentry shed as punishment, he carves a wooden figure; he has already carved over a hundred, and each escapade, such as leaving a mousetrap for his father to step on with his big toe, adds one more.
Second volume in the Michel aus Lönneberga series (Emil i Lönneberga in Swedish). The original Swedish work from 1966 is Nya hyss av Emil i Lönneberga; this German edition is from 1990.
For readers aged 8 and up who enjoy classic children's tales of mischief.
Astrid Anna Emilia Lindgren was a Swedish writer of fiction and screenplays. She is most notable for several children's book series, featuring Pippi Longstocking, Emil of Lönneberga, Karlsson-on-the-Roof, and The Six Bullerby Children, and for the children's fantasy novels Mio, My Son; Ronia the Robber's Daughter; and The Brothers Lionheart. Lindgren worked on the Children's Literature Editorial Board at the Rabén & Sjögren publishing house in Stockholm and wrote more than 30 books for children. In 2017, she was calculated to be the world's 18th most translated author. Lindgren had by 2010 sold roughly 167 million books worldwide. In 1994, she was awarded the Right Livelihood Award for "her unique authorship dedicated to the rights of children and respect for their individuality". Her campaigning for animal welfare led to a new law, Lex Lindgren, in time for her 80th birthday.
