173. Lars Granlöf

The author Lars Granlöf visited our class and told us about his book "Släpp mig fri". He drew this adventurous mermaid, swimming towards a horizon with mountains in the background.. or is it a hand? Like if the ocean is an edge, ready to climb.  

166. Monica Schultz

Monica, the sweet teacher at Sörängen, drew this a time ago together with her husband Göran. They wrote the children's book "Här kommer Bu-Ran och Seo-Ran från Korea" together among other things.

The mermaids are eager to hug the diver and can't wait for their turn

164. Björn Ranelid

We (our class at Sörängen) went to see Björn Ranelid, a poetic controversial author of many books, with the talent of speaking. He has recieved many awards. Afterwards he would write autographs for those who wanted one, so I asked for a mermaid instead. He thought it was a neat idea, and there was no problem with being in the future eventual book/blog.. because he, as he said, is a man of his word and that you have to stand up for what's yours. I absolutely love his handwriting and how it continues into the mermaid. You can find his website here.

160. Mattias Fyhr

Mattias Fyhr thought the other way around when he drew his mermaid! He researches about gothic literature that inspires his own writing, for example "De mörka labyrinterna" and "Död men drömmande" about HP Lovecraft.

Mikael Sol the author of "Till alla jag legat med" and the maincharacter, based on himself, he here drew as a merman. With the gesture and the innocent face expression of "What? Me?"

While drawing Kim W showed up beside him, and saw my name in the book, and asked if I'm Linda Ågren with the books of mermaids. Cool coincidence! I never met him live before, but he drew me this cool mermaid, remember? Now I got to meet him for real, and he just had to draw me a live mermaid for me. He also drew small mermaids in letters he sent me and my sister.
