He's a hyper-active cat who never stops. But Hawthorn Press are doing well with their publishing of Sven Nordqvist's Findus and Pettson in translation by Nathan Large. This latest book is original 2019 vintage and just as enjoyable as the previous ones have been.</p> <p>You have to feel a little sorry for Pettson. He's old(-ish) and wants a quiet life, but with a cat like Findus, what can you do?</p> <p>Well, you can refuse to 'hop on both feet and bounce all the way to the house.' But after that he gives in and gamely attempts Findus's challenges. You can guess who wins, can't you?</p> <p>This is another sweet story, and the apple tree-climbing took me straight back to my childhood summer paradise. The nostalgia almost made me cry. And I must point out that my paradise had no apple tree in it. That's how strong the Pettson and Findus magic is.</p> <p>I hope children will never grow too old or too cool for this kind of book. --<strong>Bookwitch Blog</strong> (Nov. 6, 2019)</p> <p>--</p> <p>"If you haven't yet discovered the Findus and Pettson Series from Hawthorn Press, I envy you that great feeling of thrill and excitement when you open a new book and realise that this is something very special." --<strong>Galina Varese</strong></p><br>
