Henrik Nilsson Thelander
Henrik Nilsson Thelander, born 1976, resides in Genarp outside Lund with his wife and two children. His stories unfold in the twilight realm between dream, fantasy, and adventure reality. A recurring theme in all of them revolves around the vulnerability and greatness of the ordinary person, along with our fears and the courage to confront them. With inspiration from Astrid Lindgren’s fantastic children stories and Never Ending Story, Nilsson Thelander delivers a magic world with strong children’s characters and their point-of-view.
