Three cheers for Alfie Atkins! – Exhibition at the Swedish embassy

16 Feb 2023, 12.00 AM

Now it’s time to celebrate 50 years with Alfie Atkins! Alfie (Alfons Åberg) is one of Sweden’s most beloved children’s book characters, attracting millions of readers all over the world.

Gunilla Bergström’s books about Alfie’s everyday life and adventure are as popular now as when they were first released decades ago. Many who grew up reading Alfie Atkins books have gotten to experience the stories anew by sharing them with their children and even grandchildren. Alfie is not a superhero or a fairy tale figure – he is ordinary kid, just like his readers. And perhaps that’s why he has become such a cherished part of our childhoods.
