Books about ABBA and related subjects

ABOUT THE BOOK
Back in 2001, when my English-language ABBA biography, Bright Lights Dark Shadows, was published, there was hope that it would be published in several different languages. For various reasons, except for German and Russian, this never happened. I found it especially annoying that we couldn't get the book published in Sweden – after all, it's ABBA's home-country as well as my own. That thought simply wouldn't leave me alone.

It wasn't until 2008 that I finally published a Swedish-language ABBA biography, entitled ABBA – The Story: Berättelsen om supergruppen (The Story About The Super Group). As the title implies, this book again told the story of ABBA, but this time in Swedish. I went back to the drawing board, as it were, and wrote a completely new biography, so that ABBA-interested readers in Sweden could finally read the group's fascinating story.

Naturally, the events of the 21st century were covered in some detail in this new book, which of course was not the case with, for example, with the original edition of Bright Lights Dark Shadows (subsequent editions has brought the book more up-to-date). Furthermore, new information that had come to light about the ABBA years informed the Swedish book.

There were around 60 colour and black & white pictures in ABBA – The Story, covering the pre-ABBA days up until the present.
