A few more things about Kristina
Kristina is also an ABBA musical. Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson wrote Kristina från Duvemåla (“Kristina from Duvemåla”), based on Vilhelm Moberg’s novels about a Swedish family emigrating to America. It premiered in Malmö on 7 October 1995 to a 10-minute standing ovation, and a concert version played Carnegie Hall in 2009. After its first American concert, in Minneapolis in 1996, the Minneapolis Star and Tribune wrote, “I have seen the future of the music theater, and its name is Kristina”.

A notebook for every Kristina
Kristina’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Kristina’s Notebook” on the cover tells Kristina it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
