Bertil Almqvist

Bertil Almqvist (29 August 1902 — 16 May 1972), nicknamed Bertila, was a Swedish author and illustrator. His unique way of combining text and illustration made him one of the most successful storytellers in Sweden in the middle of the 20^th century.

When the first book about the kids of the Stone Age came out in 1948, he was already a very well-known illustrator, working for many of the most prominent Swedish newspapers.  After that his success only grew, and his children’s books are classics widely enjoyed today.
