Long, long ago, a boy lies confined by sickness to his windowless bedchambers. He can never breathe fresh air or feel the warmth of the sun on his skin, so his doting father summons a painter to embellish his rooms with beautiful murals.

Soon there is a fabulous world on the walls, a colourful, shifting landscape peopled by shepherds and lovers, criss-crossed by armies and pirate ships. Can the artist show this child the richness and beauty of life with nothing but paints and brushes?

Hur många gånger har du inte önskat att du kunde vara vän med dina favoritkaraktärer? Att upptäcka skogen tillsammans med Ronja Rövardotter eller åka till Hogwarts med Harry Potter, kliva in i Narnia med Lucy Pevensie eller flyga till Landet Ingenstans med Peter Pan. I den här boken blir det möjligt.  

Mina bokvänner är litteraturhistoria på ett nytt sätt. Där karaktärerna står i fokus som de vi känner från böckernas värld!
