Ronja and Birk are born during a dark and stormy night; the same night in which the robber Matteo's fortress is split in two by lightning, creating an endless chasm. It is on that chasm that Ronja and Birk meet, while Ronja practices being careful of all the most dangerous things and not being afraid by facing them head on: the river, the dwarves, the witches, the Infernal Chasm, Bork's bandits.
Birk is the son of Bork, Mattis' sworn enemy, but with the arrival of spring Birk, like Ronja, responds to the song of the forest, to the freshness of spring, to the thrill of danger, to Ronja's tenderness.
Astrid Lindgren gives us a dense and luminous book mixing the rough tones of bandits with the melodious voice of nature, the fantastic inhabitants of the forest with the daily difficulties of a wild life, the affection of a father with the constraint of generational hatred.
