Patric Nystroem (born 1968) debuted in 1991 and has since written for a long line of comic book series, including the Swedish Moomin comics and the comic adaptation of Frans G. Bengtsson's epic The Long Ships (Red Orm), the first part of which was published in 1999. Siri the Viking, in which real historical events, places and people serve as the backdrop for the title character's adventures, is his first major solo project Per Demervall (born 1955) is one of Swedens most experienced comic book artists, with a wide range of publications. He made his debut in 1979 with Ulltryfflarna (The Wool Truffles), a fantasy comic for children. His breakthrough came in 1986 with the comic book adaption of August Strindbergs The Red Room. In December 2018 he was awarded the Swedish Academy of Comic Arts prestigious Adamson statuette for "a versatile and long-standing comic book career". Demervall's recent work on the series Siri the Viking has been highly praised

The illustrations in this book are all so brilliant, so funny and I can't help but find myself wanting to look at this book again and again, re-reading and seeing all the fun things that happen. There's something so great about this book, a combination of the fun story and knowing that some parts of the story are actually real makes this book so fun and educational too. * The Strawberry Post * It would be a perfect to encourage reading for pleasure in Years 4, 5 or 6 but also an ideal resource to reinforce curriculum work on the Vikings. A tiny percentage of Swedish language books are chosen for translation into English. This was one - and I can see why. * The Reader Zone website * This would be perfect for children to learn about the Vikings in a fun way. * Whispering Stories * ...this story has plenty of history, without making me feel like I had stepped into a history lesson. [...] This is the start of a series that I will happily pass on to my daughter to read over and over. 5/5. * Vee Bookish Books *
