When Findus Was Little and Disappeared, Hardcover

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