(Karlsson på taket)
Karlsson on the Roof is, next to Pippi Longstocking,
Astrid Lindgren's most popular character. The story takes
place in Stockholm where PeeWee, a lonely 7-year old, lives
with his family. His brother and sister are teenagers with
lives of their own, and PeeWee feels
he has nobody to play with. But one day - litteraly out of
the blue - a chubby little man appears in his room. He introduces
himself as the world's greatest Karlsson! He claims to live
on the roof and most amazing of all, Karlsson has a propeller
on his back and can actually fly.
Karlsson is soon written off as a figment of PeeWee's imagination
because he has a habit of disappearing whenever PeeWee wants
to show him off to his family. But to PeeWee, Karlsson is
very much alive. And despite Karlsson's self-centered behaviour
and unlimited faith in his own abilities, he brings excitement
into PeeWee's world.
