Never violence!

Om boken

In 1978, Astrid Lindgren was awarded the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade. She turned her acceptance speech into a fiery and compelling appeal to put an end to violence and tyranny, especially the violence that begins in the home and that affects children above all else.

This is a new edition of the speech, richly illustrated by Stina Wirsén, with a preface by Marta Santos Pais, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children, UN and an afterword by Thomas Hammarberg, Human Rights Adviser and Member of the first UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.
