Translated by Sarah Death.
Illustrated by
Lisen Adbåge.
Zany characters and a world with just a tinge of normality define the madcap meanderings of Mazarin, his father Soda Pop, and his grandfather Dartanyong. Fans of the wackier reaches of Jack Gantos and Polly Horvath will love this book's (first published in Sweden in 1970) random ramblings that make up in emotional sense what they lack in conventional storytelling.
