In total over 18 million copies of Pettson and Findus books have been sold worldwide and they have been translated into 55 languages.

Farmer Pettson sat doing the crossword, with Findus the cat on his knee.
“Tell me about when I disappeared,” said Findus. “You haven’t disappeared,” said Pettson, “you’re sitting right here.”
“Yes, but – when I was little.”
“Oh then … But you’ve heard the story so often before.”
“But tell it to me anyway!”

So here is the story of when Findus was little and disappeared – and how he came to live with Pettson in the first place.

Findus and Pettson live in a red farmhouse, with a henhouse, workshop and tool-shed set among the forests, fields and meadows of rural Sweden. Every picture tells a story, with a fascinating, magical world of tiny creatures.

Sven Nordqvist is a leading Swedish children’s illustrator and writer. The Findus and Pettson stories draw on his playful adventures with his two young sons. His unique illustrations are inspired by a delight in everyday life.
