Those who posed for the pictures in LITTLE ERIK OF SWEDEN:

Carsten Grande, Jr. as Erik: who not only looks like Erik but who plays the piano and sings just like the hero of this tale.
Grant Christianson as Nils:who is a true Swede, proud of his Viking ancestry.
Helen Anderson as Greta:A charming and beautiful newcomer to America—she left Sweden just a year ago!
Curtis Grande as Johan:A Norwegian, and very proud of it! But Curtis was happy to be little Swedish Johan for the book.

Hearty thanks go to all of you. And many thanks, too, to the photographer, Carsten Grande, Sr., who directed the posing, made the pictures, and added a large share to the attractiveness of this book.
