Bengt Gunnar Sigurd Linder (26 July 1929 in Härnösand - 17 April 1985 in Lidingö) was a Swedish writer and journalist. He wrote approximately 100 books for children and young adults, as well as text for revues and entertainment programs for radio and TV.
Work
Linder wrote in a very colloquial style, and his books are characterised by rapid dialogue and a fast pace.
He also wrote the manuscripts for a few Swedish films, such as Kostervalsen from 1958 and Drömpojken from 1964. In 1978 he wrote the script for a film based on one of his own books from 1967, called Dante - akta're för Hajen!. The movie was not well received by critics, who characterised it as incoherent and illogical.
