Carlson is a handsome, smart, decent, fat man in the prime of his powers. He lives in a house on the roof, hidden behind a big chimney. Moreover, he can fly, not by plane, but by his own fin on the back. For the Chipponoso boy of seven, it is really lucky to have such an extraordinary friend in the games.
This book includes the three novels about Carlson and Tiny: “Carlson, who lives on the roof.” (1955), “Carlson from the roof is flying again.” (1962) and “There's Carlson from the roof again.” (1968).
