The Swedish Academy awards Irmelin Sandman Lilius
Since last year, the Swedish Academy has been awarding a prize for children’s and youth literature. It will go to an “outstanding author” and this year it is the Finnish author and illustrator Irmelin Sandman Lilius who will receive the award, reports TT.
During his career, Sandman Lilius has written novels, fairy tales, poems and short stories, both for children and adults. Among them are “Apelsinträdshuset” (1994), “Katten på stranden” (1997) and “Rasse rask och tofsugglorna” (2020).
Lettuce recalled – may cause allergic reaction
The finished salad Broccoli & soybeans with lemon and chili from the brand Garant with a best before date of December 8, is being recalled by Axfood, writes TT.
This is due to a mislabelling – the product consists of another broccoli dish that contains sesame oil. It can cause an allergic reaction for those who cannot tolerate the ingredient.
Customers who have purchased the product may receive a refund if it is returned to the store. Axfood regrets the mislabeling.

What happens in the Tove case?
Ewa Forstén
State a problem with Facebook as you wrote, haven’t they changed their name to Meta?
Iv’s sale
The company itself changed its name to Meta about a year ago.
But their social media platforms Facebook, Instagram and Whatspp are still named as they do!
What is happening in Näset, Lindingö? Lots of emergency vehicles… don’t even come close to the hill

According to the police, it is a medical matter. They don’t want to say more than that.
You write that “At the Sunes Elefant restaurant in Visby, Nooshi Dadgostar eats steak and fries drenched in a brownish semi-transparent sauce”, but what did she drink with the food…? It does not appear.
Pelle brokers peace
Hey!
You cannot include everything in your text. In the documentary, it appears to be carbonated water in the glass. It could also be Sprite. But now I fall into speculation.
Pleasant evening!
What happened to Tove who was murdered? No newspaper writes more about the murder that I can find.
Pia
Hi Pia! The police and prosecutors have announced that they will wait to say more about the case while the investigation is ongoing. Both women are still in custody and on December 15, prosecutor Adam Rullman is expected to request that they be re-arrested, if nothing else happens.
