Thank you for translating this article!

I was so sad in January when she died. Her Ronja, Pippi (Pika in 
Slovene) and the Lionheard brothers were definately some of my 
favourite characters when I was little. As far as children's books 
go - she wrote the best IMHO. This summer I reread them and enjoyed 
them as a grown up, too.

Aside from a wonderful writer, she was also a very special lady. 
(Which I know only because a guy called Marjan Marinchek (a fellow 
Slovenian) is one of her most fanatic fans - he has one of the 
biggest collection of her books (all the translations of Pippi from 
around the world) and has been to visit her a few times. I loved 
reading his interviews with her...)

Mojca, who cried a little yesterday, too.
