Sven Nordqvist
Sven Nordqvist (1946) is a contemporary Swedish children's writer and illustrator. In 1984, his book "Birthday Cake" was published, the first in a famous series about the old farmer Petson and his wonderful kitten Findus. Subsequently, Nurdqvist invented and published 8 books of this series. Films and cartoons were created based on them, a computer game was written.
Petson is an absent-minded middle-aged man living alone in a house on the edge of a small Swedish village in the hinterland. He is a reliable friend and is always right there when Findus gets into trouble (and this happens to him all the time). Petson constantly makes something, invents and improves on his farm. He is the author of all sorts of impossible and strange devices.
Findus in S. Nurdqvist's stories is a young, cheerful and quick-to-trick cat. He got his strange name from Petson because he got into his owner's house in a box with the inscription "Findus green peas" (Findus is the name of a large Swedish concern that produces food products). Findus is restless and unsettled, he is constantly and "everywhere" and "nowhere". Findus can talk, but hides it from Petson's fellow villagers *. In addition to them, there are many other funny characters in the books: Petson's chickens, a cow, Petson's neighbor Gustavson and, of course, the fictional characters MUKLA, who will definitely live their lives in Nurdqvist's drawings, try to help Findus everywhere.
