Ole Lund Kirkegaard

Ole Lund Kirkegaard (29 July 1940, Aarhus — 24 March 1979) was a Danish writer of children's literature and youth literature. He mainly wrote about the interaction between adult and child. The main character in his books is usually an anti-hero.

On a cold winter's night in 1979 Kirkegaard, on his way home, fell in the snow and couldn't get up again. He froze to death where he lay, at just 39 years of age.
