SVEN NORDQVIST (b. 1946) is a well-loved Swedish children's illustrator and writer. The Findus and Pettson stories draw on his playful adventures with his two young sons, and his unique illustrations are inspired by a delight in everyday life. Through his Findus series, Nordqvist hopes to create a world in which problems can find resolution, encouraging creative and practical thinking with his funny and charming narratives and playful and industrious characters.
‘…the pictures create a world, not only depicting the farmhouse and
surrounding countryside in irresistible detail, but also telling
humorous little sub-narratives about the tiny creatures that live
about the farm’ Nicolette Jones, The Sunday times
... more delightful comedy with the lovable characters of Farmer
Pettson and Findus, the talking cat, in a smaller format book aimed
at slightly younger readers. As ever, the eccentricities in the
characterisation, humorous conversations between Findus and Pettson
and the captivating illustrations retain the charm of the Findus
series.

'The characters are quirky and original, and illustrations are
absolutely delightful … I can't recommend them highly enough.'
