When Findus was Little and Disappeared

Author:  Sven Nordqvist
Illustrator:  Sven Nordqvist
$18.99  Paperback
I love the Findus books... they're enormously inventive, funny and charming. My grandchildren love them too.
Philip Pullman
Synopsis

There was once a man called Pettson who had a cat named Findus. They lived in a little red house with a tool shed, a hen house, a woodshed and a garden. Paddocks lay all around, and beyond them was the forest.

This is the third story from Gecko Press about one of Sweden’s most popular characters, the quirky and forgetful Farmer Pettson and his curious talking cat, Findus.

Farmer Pettson tells the story of when Findus was little and came to live with him, and how he lost him and found him again. It is a charming, warm and funny story with typical Sven Nordqvist detail in the story and in the pictures.

The Pettson and Findus books have sold four million copies in 40 countries and been translated into over 20 languages, including Russian, Hindi, Faroese, Basque and Vietnamese.
