Madicken Activity Book

Madicken Activity Book is part of a series of activity books featuring the wonderful illustrations by Ilon Wikland. These stylish activity books contain maths puzzles, labyrinths, lovely stickers of the familiar characters and much more.

Ilon Wikland applied for a job as an illustrator at Stockholm-based publisher Rabén & Sjögren, where she started working with Astrid Lindgren. Wikland has said that Lindgren’s writing makes her see inner pictures. She also derives inspiration for her pictures from real life. Wikland illustrates in the the same way that Astrid Lindgren wrote – for “the child within her”. The pair worked together for many years and Wikland has illustrated some of the most appreciated works by Lindgren, including Ronja the Robber’s Daughter, Mardie, Karlsson on the Roof, The Children on Troublemaker Street and many more.
