Madicken is a character created by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. She appears in two novels and a short story which were adapted into a TV series in 1979 and a movie in 1980. English translations have given her several different names; the British translation of the books names her "Mardie," while the American translation calls her "Mischievous Meg," and the English print of the movies names her "Maggie."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Madicken is an upper middle class girl, who lives with her parents and sister on the outskirts of a small town in Sweden in the 1910's. Her father is the editor-in-chief of the local newspaper and unconventional in so far as he tries to draw his children's attention to social issues and injustice. Madicken is seen as a difficult child because of her temper and her many adventurous ideas that often get her in trouble, but she also has a kind heart and can't stand to see someone else unhappy. Other characters include Madicken's baby sister Lisabet, who admires Madicken's courage and gradually develops a mischievous side, the mother, who is often exhausted by her daughter's energy and stubbornness, the nanny Alva who often deals with the children's day-to-day issues, and Madicken's neighbour and friend Abbe and his parents.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Notable because while Lindgren depicts an idyllic and sheltered childhood for the main character, the book also addresses many social issues through the family's neighbours and a poor classmate that always tries to pick fights with her. | |

Annoying Younger Sibling: Lisabet has traits of this, even though the sisters get along more often than not. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Madicken / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: Abbe's father spends most of his time drinking or sleeping, which puts a lot of stress on his wife. He's a much more sympathetic character though than many other exemples of this trope, because he's a genuinely kind man at heart. | |

Bowdlerisation | |
| Madicken / int_98a72851 | comment |
Bowdlerisation: Mischievous Meg, the American translation of the first book, is noted for making cuts and omissions to the original text to remove "offensive" material; most notably an entire chapter that depicts Madicken's and Lisabeth's first meeting with the poor children Mia and Mattis, and which not only depicts a class-conflict but also features the girls swearing at one another. The British translation, Mardie's Adventures, keeps the chapter and is a far more faithful translation, however. | |
