Sven Nordqvist (b. 1946) is a leading Swedish children's illustrator and writer. The Findus and Pettson stories draw on his playful adventures with his two young sons. His unique illustrations are inspired by the delights of everyday life.
"The delightful, chaotic, jumbled illustrations of Pettson's house
and Findus' explorations convey eccentric original charm and
personality, friendship, security, and warmth."- Midwest Book
Review
"' Findus Disappears!' has the time-out-of-time feel of a folk tale
and a sweet, rustic appeal...Nordqvist s detailed, expressive
illustrations have enormous charm."- New York Times Book
Review"
It s not often that we come across books with such immediate and
lasting appeal as Sven Nordqvist s Findus series. The stories are
ingenious, the characters are quirky and original, and the
illustrations are absolutely delightful... I can t recommend them
highly enough. Hurrah for Findus! - Philip Pullman, author of The
Golden Compass"
