Lilla Piratförlaget will publish Jean-Claude Mourlevat's books in Swedish translation and first out will be "Jefferson", about a hedgehog whose hairdresser is murdered - whereupon Jefferson is wrongly suspected of the crime.
However, through cunning and inspiration from all the adventure books he has read, he succeeds.
The book will be published in Swedish on May 27 - just before Mourlevat receives the Alma Prize.
