I am by trade a classical
archaeologist and a librarian. Since 1991 I have been employed mostly
as a writer, copywriter, and editor. I have also been the leader of
several projects both within and outside the cultural sector. I seek
employment as a writer or editor and prefer to work with projects.
I am the author of several books. Among them are three guidebooks to ancient monuments in Scania in the southern part of Sweden. The latest "Fornminnen i Skåne: En vägvisare" (Ancient monuments in Scania. A guide) was published in 2001. The book was a project in collaboration with the Regional Museum and the County Administration and was sponsored by the Regional Council, the Farmers Association, the Regional Traffic Company, the County Forestry Board and most of the local authorities. I have also written a juvenile fantasy book "Armins skugga" (The Shadow of Armin) about the little tree-nymph Melia’s and her friend’s adventures with their flying boat trying to stop a terrible threat to their country, Eldivia. The book was published in Sweden in 2001. A reviewer wrote: It is a story filled with magic and excitement. I was completely swept away into this colourful and spellbinding story. I travelled to a fantasyland, which was so filled with life that it even forced itself upon me in my dreams during the night. This is a very entertaining juvenile book, which certainly will be appreciated even by us, who call ourselves grown up. My latest book is a co-operation with the photographer Jan Mark and the classical archeologist Giordano Labud. The book "Kungen som grävde, Gustaf VI Adolf i Italien" (The King Who was an Archaeologist, Gustaf VI Adolf in Italy) was published in 2004. It contains many unique photographs of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden and the life surrounding the Swedish excavations of the Etruscans at San Giovenale and Acquarossa. Christer Classon
