Children's stories

Folke worked extremely hard to become an established artist and support his family, always using his imagination and fantasy to drive his work. His own children greatly enjoyed his playful sense of fun and when they had grown up they were just the same.

With three siblings Folke was well known as a very playful and mischievous child, this remained with him his whole life.  At school he was the despair of his teachers. His two years of army service only exaggerated his tendency towards always seeing the fun and humour everywhere. His one passion was painting, drawing and decorative art, all else was comedy. Making these stories was a pleasant diversion for a man of such great imagination who always delighted in causing laughter and joy with other people, especially the young.

Folke painted stories for children, starting for his own granddaughter with “Morfar’s Saga” based on memories of his maternal grandfather. Next came “Golden Oriol” in 1976, also “Appelkin” in 1977. Others were made, unfortunately we know little about them.
