Ole Lund Kirkegaard (29 July 1940, Aarhus — 24 March 1979) was a Danish writer of children's literature and youth literature and a teacher. He mainly wrote about the interaction between adult and child. The main character in his books is usually an anti-hero. In 1969 he was awarded with the Danish Ministry of Culture's children book prize (Denmark) (Kulturministeriets Børnebogspris)
Kirkegaard grew up in Skanderborg just south of Aarhus and many of his stories were inspired by his own childhood experiences there. He also illustrated his own books. On a cold winter night in 1979 Kirkegaard, on his way home, fell in the snow and could not get up again, after having had too much to drink. He froze to death on location, at just 38 years of age. The street of Ole Lund Kirkegaards Stræde in Skanderborg, is named after him.
I HODJA FRA PJORT følger vi drengen Hodja, der bor i den lille idylliske by Pjort i landet Bulgislav, hvor alt er godt bortset fra for Hodja, der ikke kan lide skolen og hellere vil ud og opleve verden. Heldigvis kan Hojda låne et flyvende tæppe og han sætter det samme kursen mod hovedstaden PETTO, som han gerne vil se. Desværre er der mange der gerne vil have fingre i et ægte flyvende tæppe, så Hodja bliver nødt til at passe på.
Velkommen til Ole Lund Kirkegaards univers, der er en verden fyldt af sjove historier og skægge karakterer, som er elsket af både børn og voksne.
