/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "In 1955, Astrid Lindgren, finishing her work on
the book of stories about Carlson, sent me the manuscript, so I was
able to create an image of Carlson.
After some time I presented her the first image of my Carlson,
looking at which she said: "No, it's not my Carlson. After that, I was
looking for an image of Carlson for 6 months in Paris, where once on
the street I saw a man in overalls, with disheveled hair, and I said
myself: "This is Carlson! So he comes from Paris, " Ilona Wikland ,
the world-famous illustrator of books teller Astrid Lindgren said at
the opening of the exhibition "Carlson, who knows how to fly".
Exhibition of works by Ilon Wikland in the Yerevan-based National

public attention to the fundamental rights of children, " Ambassador
