"Papperspåse... står det så i sagan, va?" sa Karlsson. "Står det att jägaren sprättade upp vargens mage och tömde ut Rödluvan i en papperspåse, står det det?"
Jag känner igen mig så otroligt i Lillebror, och återigen är det en bok med många äventyr och fniss. Men vem fan är Karlsson? Varför är Lillebrors föräldrar okej med denna lekkamrat? Okej om han vore en flygande pojke i sjuårsåldern men han är uppenbart en vuxen man, en farbror. Det är svårt att släppa, speciellt när jag läser den som vuxen.

Mamma och pappa trodde att Karlsson var en sådan där låtsaskamrat som barn skaffar sig, när de känner sig ensamma. Därför köpte de en hund åt Lillebror. Visst älskar Lillebror sin Bimbo, men Karlsson är en ännu bättre lekkamrat. ”Roligt vill jag ha, annars är jag inte me”, säger Karlsson, när han kommer inflygande genom Lillebrors fönster, pigg och nyter och alltid redo för nya filurerier.
Den andra boken om Karlsson på taket, i vilken fröken Bock, husföreståndarinnan som Karlsson älskar att ”tirritera”, dyker upp för första gången.

Astrid Lindgren: November 7, 1907 - January 28, 2002 There are few children's authors more famous than Astrid Lindgren, creator of the feisty, legendary heroine, Pippi Longstocking. Lindgren was born on November 14, 1907, in Sweden. Her work has been acclaimed with many prestigious awards, among them the Hans Christian Andersen Medal (1958), the show more Lewis Carroll Shelf Award (1978), and the International Book Award (1993). This truly internationally known author was the recipient of the Albert Schweitzer Medal and has been honored repeatedly in her native Sweden. There is a bronze statue of her in a Stockholm park. Her picture is on a postage stamp. The "World of Astrid Lindgren" is a theme park featuring the wholesome characters of her books. The annual children's literature award is known as the Astrid Lindgren Prize. The inspiration for this long and illustrious career, spanning five decades, is the author's own childhood. Her memories - of free and often wild play with her brothers and sister, of loving parents, of a close-knit farm community, of reading about heroines like Pollyanna and Anne of Green Gables - became the foundations of her books. Lindgren has said, "I write to amuse the child within me, and I can only hope that in this way other children as well can have a little fun." Lindgren amused her own children by telling them stories. Her daughter, Karin, named Pippi Longstocking, and the first written story was given to Karin as a birthday gift. The next year, 1945, Pippi Longstocking won a best children's book competition and Lindgren began writing the perennially child-pleasing stories that make up her enormous body of work, some of which are the series based on "Children of Noisy Village", the fable "The Tomten", the rambunctious "Karlson-On-the-Roof", the irrepressible"Lotta on Troublemaker Street" , the controversial "The Brothers Lionheart", and the unforgettable, wildly funny superheroine, Pippi, was featured in other books and became a star of stage, screen and television. Lindgren has been called the world's most read author of children's books. She is hailed as the third most translated children's book author after H.C. Andersen and the Grimm brothers. Her impact on the world of children's literature is immeasurable. Astrid Lindgren died in her sleep, in her home in Sweden on January 28, 2002 at the age of 94. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
