Matt makes his living by stealing from travelers and he makes an old castle his headquarters. On the night his daughter, Ronia, is born, a lightning bolt splits his castle in two. Soon, his archrival and his band come to live in the other half of the castle and, with them, comes Birk, Matt’s rival’s son. Soon Birk and Ronia meet and become best friends, but this does not lead to family happiness. A great story.
I'm actually reading this to my daughter (one bit every night). But since I had never read it myself previously, I list it as my current read as well.

Appealed to my adventurous side. As a kid I wandered in the woods and climbed on rocks, so back then this would have been an absolutely perfect book. Loved all the different creatures, and how Lidngren described the relationship of Ronja and her father.
