"Once upon a time, a little girl was born way up North, just above the Arctic Circle in Norway. This happened in the year when peace came to the world after a long and devastating Second World War. That little girl was me, Anni-Frid. I grew up with my grandmother, who gave me all her love in a no-nonsense way and taught me to become the person I am today-a person I think she might have been very proud of. My only regret is that she never lived to share the joy and happiness of my success with ABBA, and the granddaughter she always supported. So this is my tribute to you, Arntine Cornelia Maria Lyngstad, my role model and heroine."
