Literature. Part fifty eight.

                                                    Karlsson on the Roof by Astrid Lindgren.

Karlsson is the main character of these books: Karlsson on the Roof, Karlsson Flies Again, Karlsson on the Roof is Sneaking Around Again by Astrid Lindgren.

He is very short and lives in his small house on the roof. Also, Karlsson has a propeller on his back. He can fly on it. Karlsson is a selfish person. He had one friend named Svante (Midge).

Many people don't believe in Karlsson. Midge's family doesn't know about a "person with propeller", too. Svante has a father and a mother, as well as an older brother and a sister. Later they noticed Karlsson.

Freken Bok is a nanny in the family. She had a lot of negative emotions after meeting with Karlsson.

Midge and his friend had a lot of adventures in these books. This story was translated to different languages. There are many illustrations, cartoons, and movies about this character.
