He is a character from a children\u2019s book written by Gunilla Bergstr\u00f6m. There are games, books and TV series about Alfons. This book, as you can tell by the quality of the animation is quite old, but none the less still a wonderful children\u2019s show.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately the author\u2019s main point is to introduce children to different customs, proverbs and Swedish sayings.
