characters like Texas Tom, Zulka in the Well and Dr
Finkelstein. Meet Tivoli's family of owners and experience all
they've been through in the decades - glamorous weddings and
devastating fires. The story of Gröna Lund is also the story of a
long line of world artists, including Jimi Hendrix and Bob
Marley. Follow on a breathtaking roller coaster ride through
amusement park history, follow the "People's Grona Lund". The book
contains a rich photographs, about 200 images, from the 20th century
