Karlsson is not just any friend; he is a whimsical flying man who resides on the roof, equipped with a propeller on his back. Their friendship is filled with laughter, mischief, and delightful adventures that make every day an exciting escapade.

The stories within this collection showcase the playful antics of Smidge and Karlsson as they embark on various adventures. From indulging in cream buns to attempting to scare their new housekeeper, the duo's escapades are both humorous and heartwarming.
