""I'll never forget the first time Mr. Liljonkvast picked me up. There was a knock on the window. A very small gentleman in a checkered suit and top hat came in through the window. 'My name is Mr. Liljonkvast,' he said, "I trip around a little everywhere on the window-pane to see if there are any children who want to come with me to Twilight Land. Perhaps you would?' If I would!"The flying Mr Liljonkvast was a friendlier predecessor to Karlsson on the roof. Astrid Lindgren's daughter Karin came up with the name. The story from Nils Karlsson-Pyssling is published here as a picture book with illustrations by Marit Törnqvist."
