1 Further Adventures of PELLE NO-TAIL GÖS TA KN UTSSON Translated by Stephanie Smee and Ann-Margrete Smee TEACHING NOTES
2 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Stephanie and Ann-Margrete Smee After working as a lawyer in Sydney and London, Stephanie Smee made her literary translation debut with an English translation of the Countess de Ségur s Fleurville Trilogy. Her mother, Ann-Margrete Smee, is now retired, having worked as a government translator, court interpreter and, for many years, a language teacher. Gösta Knutsson Gösta Knutsson ( ) was a Swedish children s author and radio producer. The first Pelle book was published in 1939, followed by many more books, comics, films, plays, music and television programs. Pelle No-Tail is beloved in Sweden and around the world, with translations appearing in Polish, Finnish, Danish, German, Dutch, Norwegian and Portuguese.
3 TEACHING NOTES Further Adventures of Pelle No-Tail By Gösta Knutsson (Translated by Stephanie Smee and Ann-Margrete Smee) SYNOPSIS (PLOT) The second book in the classic series, Further Adventures of Pelle No-Tail re-introduces Sweden s favourite cat. Pelle has settled into life with Birgitta s family, but while he has made friends with some of the neighbourhood cats, others continue to tease him. It is spring time, and Pelle joins Birgitta in the woods to pick flowers. Birgitta makes a posy for Pelle, attaching it to his collar, which he wears proudly on their walk home through town. Here they bump into the local tomcat Måns, who is enraged when Pelle introduces himself as the May Prince. Måns hatches a scheme to teach Pelle a lesson, and invites him to the Spring Festival as a member of the Combined Cats Community Choir. Pelle, surprised and happy, accepts the invitation. At the festival, the choir sings all their songs. At the end they join hands and trap Pelle in a circle, and sing a mean song about his not having a tail. The audience laughs, but Pelle s friend Ingrid jumps to his defence. She challenges the audience, telling them they should be ashamed themselves. The audience agrees with Ingrid, and rushes to the stage to get Måns, who set up the nasty trick. For the summer holidays, the family returns to their country house in Övrabo. Birgitta s brother, Olle, wants to explore the lake with his cousin Nisse, and they sneak Pelle out in the rowboat with them, 1
4 f u r t h e r a d v e n t u r e s o f p e l l e n o - t a i l naming him ship s cat. The crew reaches a small island, but while they re exploring the dense forest they spy an enemy ship, with a dog at the bow. Pelle shoots up a tree, and the man in the boat tells the boys that this is his island, and they must leave at once without Pelle. A thunderstorm rages through the night and, apart from the squirrels and a big scary owl, Pelle is all alone. In the morning, Birgitta comes to the rescue with her father, and the boys get into trouble for being irresponsible with their cat. Despite the fact that Måns has been so mean to him, Pelle continues to be friendly whenever they see each other in town. It is now autumn, and Måns is still furious with Pelle, whom he misjudges as being stuck up. At Måns birthday party he develops another plan to make fun of Pelle, and invites him to take part in the great general knowledge quiz. Måns gives the other contestants the questions and answers in advance, to ensure that they would win and Pelle would lose. But as the quiz goes on, the cats get confused and give the wrong answers. Old Maja the Cathedral Cat begins to suspect that something is wrong, and challenges Måns, with the whole audience backing her up. Finally, she discovers that the game is rigged and announces Pelle as the winner. The audience cheers. For Christmas, Pelle is given a special painting by Birgitta. In the painting he is sitting in a lush forest with the Seven Dwarfs. The family talk about the dwarfs, and before long they have all come to life. Pelle has entered the forest of the painting, meeting a deer and a woodpecker. With a clap of thunder, Måns turns up and forces Pelle to eat a poisoned herring. But before he can open his mouth, there s another clap of thunder and Pelle wakes up it was all a dream! Fritz and Frida invite everyone to a masquerade ball, where they must dress up in disguise. Pelle comes dressed as a polar bear, and Måns as a policemen. When it comes time to guess who everyone is, Måns tries to shame Pelle by pointing out that he is the only one dressed as something without a tail. But Pelle defends himself, stating that it would look silly if a polar bear had a tail. With that, Måns goes home, and the party continues. THEMES This book for children is an adventure story that deals with bravery, community, imagination and exploring the world around you. Prevailing themes throughout the Pelle series are bullying and embracing peoples differences. 2 blackincbooks.com
5 t e a c h i n g n o t e s Bravery Throughout his adventures, Pelle often ends up in bad situations, but he always makes it out the other side. When cats are being mean to him, he shows resilience in reminding himself that there s nothing wrong with not having a tail. When he gets lost he may get upset, but he is patient and friendly and ultimately succeeds. No matter what adventure Pelle is having, he always has a positive attitude, and he always does the right thing. Community When Pelle is tricked by Måns and made fun of in front of his cat community, his friends come to his defence. When the cats see past the fact that he doesn t have a tail, they begin to appreciate him for who he is: the nicest cat in the whole town. At home with his family, Pelle doesn t have to worry about being bullied, because this community cares for him unconditionally. Imagination From the boys employing Pelle as the ship s cat to sailing through crocodile-infested waters, to Pelle s dream about the Seven Dwarfs, imagination plays a big role in many elements of the story. Exploring the world around you Wherever Pelle ends up, he is always curious about his surroundings. Here, each of Pelle s adventures take place during a different season. WRITING STYLE The book has been translated from Swedish by Stephanie Smee and Ann-Margrete Smee. A classic, popular Swedish children s book, it was first published in 1940, and the translation is faithful to that era s writing style. The translation is also faithful to the location where the book was originally set; many Swedish locations are mentioned, character names are Swedish, Swedish expressions are peppered throughout the book, and Swedish cultural traditions are explained. The story is presented from Pelle s point of view; his relationships with other cats are explored, and humans are almost secondary to the story. We hear Pelle s thoughts and feelings, and see his amusement at blackincbooks.com 3
6 f u r t h e r a d v e n t u r e s o f p e l l e n o - t a i l the odd things humans do and say. The writing style is light-hearted and humorous, even though it deals with some important social issues such as bravery and community. This is especially interesting to note since the book was originally published around the beginning of World War II, a time when differences between cultures and people were not celebrated in some parts of the world.

Bullying Pelle can t understand why people pick on him and look down on him because he doesn t have a tail. He can t help it if he doesn t have a tail, he thinks. This is a strong theme throughout the book: accepting someone who is different from you.

Discussion point: As a class, discuss what bullying is, and how it is different from having an argument with someone. Discussion point: Discuss the reasons some people might bully others. Discuss strategies to help someone who is being bullied. Discussion point: Discuss how the students think Pelle might feel about being picked on for a physical attribute that he can t help. Embracing people s differences Throughout his adventures, Pelle meets many different animals and people. They re all very different, but Pelle likes them all for exactly who they are. 6 blackincbooks.com
9 Big-Stina tells him there s nothing wrong with having no tail; in fact, there are some great things about not having a tail. For her, Pelle s lack of a tail is no issue.
