Mulle Mek and the Ringing Bumblebee

The skilled mechanic Mulle Mek is a famous hero of many children's books. In each of them, Mulle assembles a car or a motorcycle, builds a boat, an airplane, or a cozy home, while sharing valuable information with readers about... how everything is arranged and how it works.

In the book "Mulle Mek and the Ringing Bumblebee," Mulle builds an airship. This is because the village where Mulle Mek, Buffa, and all their friends live is under serious threat. There are almost no bees, bumblebees, or other insects left in the area – they have all disappeared. And if there are no insects, soon flowers, plants, and animals will perish… After all, everything in nature is interconnected, and the life of one little bug can determine the future of us all! To save his native village, Mulle Mek builds an airship and flies over the Great Mountain in search of insects.

The creators of the books about Mulle Mek are the famous Swedish writer Georg Johansson, author of numerous children's books on science and technology, and the equally renowned illustrator Jens Album. Stories about the handyman, mechanic Mulle Mek, and his dog Buffa have been immensely popular among Swedish children for over 30 years. Mulle is loved as much as the famous characters from Astrid Lindgren's fairy tales.
