Skorpans bror Jonatan har berättat om landet Nangijala, dit man kommer när man dör. För Skorpan är sjuk och ska dö.
"I Nangijala får man vara med om äventyr från morgon till kväll", säger Jonatan. "För det är i Nangijala som alla sagor händer." Några dagar senare brinner det i huset där de bor och Jonatan dör själv.
Och tänka sig, precis som Jonatan lovat så ses de i Nangijala. Fast allt är inte underbart i sagornas och lägereldarnas land. På andra sidan bergen ligger Törnrosdalen där den onda Tengil tagit makten och gjort folket till slavar. Uppe i en håla i bergen håller han urtidsdraken Katla ...
En gravsten på Vimmerby kyrkogård gav Astrid idén till Bröderna Lejonhjärta. Där stod det: "Här vila späda bröderna Fahlén, döda 1860". Då visste hon att det skulle bli en saga om döden och om två bröder.

Scorpio's brother Jonatan has told him about the land of Nangijala, where you go when you die. Because Scorpio is sick and is going to die.
"In Nangijala you get to experience adventures from morning to night," says Jonatan. "Because that's where all the fairy tales happen." A few days later, the house where they live burns down and Jonatan dies himself.
And just like Jonatan promised, they meet in Nangijala. But not everything is wonderful in the land of fairy tales and campfires. On the other side of the mountains lies Törnrosdalen, where the evil Tengil has seized power and enslaved the people. Up in a cave in the mountains he keeps the ancient dragon Katla...
A gravestone in Vimmerby cemetery gave Astrid the idea for The Lionheart Brothers . It read: "Here rest the tender brothers Fahlén, who died in 1860." She knew then that it would be a fairy tale about death and about two brothers.
