Is that “bysse” of her fathers making? I had one of those growing up myself. Maybe it’s common for kids in America to have those as well – but in the case of Swedish kids, I would point to this as yet another example of the enormous cultural impact of Astrid Lindgrens writing.
Thinking about it, I actually feel a bit sad that it stopped there. Just imagine how grand it would be if every kid in Sweden also grew up with their very own “snickeboa”.
Hmm…I don’t know if it’s my memory playing tricks on me now, but isn’t there a picture somewhere here on your site where Tage is wearing his very own “mysse”. Did he have both the “mysse” and the “bysse”?
