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.
FRODE – OG ALLE DE ANDRE RØDDER handler om den syvårige Frode fra Hjørne-Huset, om Simme, den største af alle rødderne, om Stinne, der er Frodes kæreste, om Spætte, der altid glemmer det, han skal huske, om Dille, der vil afspore et tog, om Læris, en højst mærkværdig dreng, som tænker bedre end de fleste, om Irene TV og fru Ravn, der er to meget nysgerrige damer, om hr. Storm, der er frygtelig, forfærdelig og afskyeligt vredladen, og som altid kommer galt af sted, og om en mystisk mand på løbehjul.
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.
