Pettson lives all alone in a little house in the country but he occasionally feels quite lonely until one day a kind neighbour delivers a tiny kitten in a box with the label Findus Green Pea. Gecko Press do an amazing job sourcing European books and having them translated into English. In our school library we have When Findus was little and disappeared so I bought it home to read. One of the big names he mentioned was Sven Nordqvist. We were chatting about Taronga, which he planned to discuss in a tutorial group and I asked about Swedish authors. Luckily his classes are in English which means he has been able to enroll in a children's literature course. A young friend of mine is taking a break from his law studies in Australia so he can experience university life in Sweden.
