"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.

"It's not often that we come across books with such immediate and lasting appeal as Sven Nordqvist's 'Findus' series. The stories are ingenious, the characters are quirky and original, and the illustrations are absolutely delightful.... I can't recommend them highly enough. Hurrah for Findus!"
