Description: English translation of the original Swedish book 'Elvis Karlsson' (1972). Children's story about Elvis, a boy who was named after his mother's idol, Elvis Presley. She has all his records. But Elvis Karlsson is stone hoarse and never sings, so mother is a little disappointed. And there's dad too. Dad might be playing football and trying to teach Elvis, 'That's All Right, Mama'. Except the names used for the character, the book has no further relation to Elvis.
