Every child knows that Karlsson-on-the-Roof is the best friend in the world. And that is thanks to the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. Her trilogy about the charming rascal and prankster with a propeller on his back has won the hearts of young readers all over the world.
Karlsson turns Smidge's quiet life upside down: now they walk on rooftops together, catch burglars, and play pranks on the sensitive housekeeper. And even though Smidge has to take the blame for all of Karlsson's mischief, he gains a friend for whom he is willing to share his favorite toy and his last cinnamon bun.
Astrid Lindgren gave children a wonderful story about true friendship, and the unique look of the characters was created by the artist Anatoly Savchenko, whose illustrations have already become canonical.
