Hotell Gyllene Knorren Goes Multi-Media

Sweden's TV Christmas Calendar children's show includes a cooperation with book publishers Bonnier Carlsen and Bonnier Utbildning - and will become a feature film for SF.

On Dec. 1 Swedish Television's public channel started airing its annual Julakalender Christmas Calendar show – Hotell Gyllene Knorren (Hotel Golden Pigtail). The series is an annual TV advent calendar for kids with one 15-minute episode per day until Christmas. This year the program is based on the Bonnier Carlsen book series by Måns Gahrton and Johan Unenge about a wacky family that takes  over an old hotel.

Special Appearance

Stockholm high school students meet best-selling novelist Audrey Niffenegger.

As author Audrey Niffenegger sat in the auditorium of Stockholm's Östra Real high school, she was bombarded with questions from some 60 students.

"When did you decide to be a novelist?"

"Do you do a lot of research?"

"Were you inspired by anyone?"

"Do you believe in ghosts?"
