Further Information
Henning Mankell, born 1948, is a Swedish author who
gradually gained an underground cult following until now when he is
published worldwide. The books were written in Swedish and subsequently
translated for the English and American market. The bibliography is,
frankly, something of a mess. The chronology is all over the place with
books being released in an almost arbitrary nature it seems. We have listed them in order of UK publication. For many
collectors the English editions are the most desirable, most of which
had very small print runs. This makes them surprisingly, given their
age, scarce. His signature is also uncommon and does attract a higher
premium than many of his contemporaries. His main series character is
Kurt Wallander for his mystery titles. He has also written some
children's books and some non-fiction, given the nature of the site
these have been omitted from the above checklist. |
