The aim of this text is to ascertain to what degree Swedes are familiar with Lennart Hellsing and his texts and to give a picture of what influence Hellsing has had in Swedish people’s lives. In order to answer these questions a survey, in which 31 Swedish persons participated, was conducted. The results show that although a slight majority knows who Lennart Hellsing was, many do not. Even so, all respondents recognized at least one of Hellsing’s texts. This shows how well-known these texts are in Sweden and suggests that they are part of the Swedish cultural heritage.

The literary works of Lennart Hellsing have had a significant impact on the rise of modern Swedish books for children. Having worked closely with outstanding illustrators and eminent composers, the author created an ultimate masterpiece which, at the same time, became an alternative to the aesthetics of the turn of the century, still dominant in the 1940s. Turning towards the new did not mean that the author wished to cut off his works from tradition. This article aims at presenting how Lennart Hellsing used rhythmical, syntactical and melodic structures originating in Swedish folklore on different levels of his literary achievements. A very special place in Hellsing’s writing was occupied by the folk song, which in his works was also present in a network of intertextual ties.

The article analyses and sheds light on the nonsense techniques used in Lennart Hellsing’s Sjörövarbok (1965) (The Pirate Book). In this article, it is argued, furthermore, that Hellsing’s nonsense writings fit in with his role in Swedish children’s literature in the latter half of the 20th century as both a critic and a carrier of tradition. Theoretically and methodologically the study draws on the critical apparatus developed mainly by Wim Tigges. It is shown that Sjörövarbok is a prime example of nonsense literature, particularly in the use of repetition (names, verbs) and simultaneity of meaning.
