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.
