Aime Maripuu (until 1960 K\u00f5rma, from 1974 real name Prand; born 25 December 1934) is a children\u2019s and prose writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maripuu was born and attended school in Tallinn, studied at the Tallinn Polytechnical Institute (now Tallinn University of Technology), from which she graduated as an electrical engineer. She also worked in this speciality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She started her literary activity in the mid-1960s when her stories for children were published in the magazine T\u00e4heke<\/em>. In 1967, Maripuu\u2019s story Vana testamendi Jehoova<\/em> (\u2018Jehovah of the Old Testament\u2019) won the third prize in the short story competition of the journal Looming<\/em>. Her work also deserved honorary mention in the short story competitions of the following years. The short story collections Majas rappuvad seinad <\/em>(\u2018Walls are Shaking in the House\u2019, 1971) and Ma k\u00fcsin<\/em> (\u2018I Ask\u2019, 1974) are notable for their strong female characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Maripuu\u2019s literature for children, the central role belongs to adaptations of folk traditions and beliefs, legends and tales, for example in the collections Paganamaa legend<\/em> (\u2018The Legend of Paganamaa\u2019, 1980) and J\u00f5gi ei peatu kunagi<\/em> (\u2018The River Never Halts\u2019, 1984). Oota j\u00e4rgmise hommikuni<\/em> (\u2018Wait Until Next Morning\u2019, 1989) takes a look at the world of teenagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maripuu has also written radio plays, such as Mida sa \u00fctleksid Aap Penderile?<\/em> (\u2018What Would You Say to Aap Pender?\u2019, broadcast in 1967) and Esimene, l\u00fc\u00fcriline ehk Lugu j\u00e4\u00e4tunud kosest<\/em> (\u2018The First, Lyrical, or the Story of a Frozen Waterfall\u2019, broadcast in 1973).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
