Good night, Axel! Bergstrom G.

Axel does not want to sleep and cunning: he asks the dad to read or bring water. But dad goes to fulfill the next request of Axel and disappears. What happened to him?

In the Homeland of the hero, Alphonse Oberg is called, but in different countries of the world he is given by local names: Ifan Bifan (in Uelski), Willie (in German), Ardom (in a hazard ), Burkhan (in Arabic). We decided that this was a Swedish boy, and came up with a new Swedish name, although computer games were already released in Russia, where Alfons was called Yegor Goroshkin.

Books about Axel were translated into 35 languages, more than one generation grew, they grew up, And pieces about Axel are part of the cultural code of the Swedes. In terms of the number of issues of books in the libraries of Sweden (more than a million a year!), Gunilla Bergstron is second only to Astrid Lindgren, who, before retirement in 1971, managed to release the first book by Bergstrot, “Pope MII”. Axel appeared a year later and in 49 years became the hero of 25 books, the animated series, and in Gooteborg they even opened a children's museum dedicated to Axel.

Axel The most ordinary boy. He lives with dad Bertil. He has aunt, grandmother and cat Puzel. There are many events with an axel that children can easily find out. The boy does not want to sleep, loses a plush teddy bear, builds a helicopter, fantasizes everything in the world, communicates with an imaginary friend, is distracted, while he is going to kindergarten, argues with his dad, dreams of growing more and make decisions. There are no fairies and dragons in the books, because Gunilla Bergstrom is sure: every day in the life of any person there are mini-spectacles that make life magical life. And perhaps this is only if the parent treats the child as an equal - this is how Axel and his dad live...
