Fun-filled stories starring an ordinary boy called Smidge and the extraordinary Karlsson, the flying man who lives on the roof!

Imagine Smidge's delight when, one day, a little man with a propeller on his back appears hovering at the window! It's Karlsson and he lives in a house on the roof. Soon Smidge and Karlsson are sharing all sorts of adventures, from tackling thieves and playing tricks to looping the loop and running across the rooftops. Fun and chaos burst from these charming, classic stories.

I adored Astrid Lindgren as a child
