YOUNGER FICTION
Lagercrantz, Rose

My Happy Life

(2) 1-3 Translated by Julia Marshall. Illustrated by Eva Eriksson. Twenty very short, generously illustrated chapters take the essential matter of the primary-school years and recast it in a fresh, sweet light. The book's open layout, with its plentiful white space, welcomes the new reader, as does the prose style. Heroine Dani is individual without being quirky. Eriksson's line drawings are full of personality and emotion.
