Ole Lund Kirkegaard (29 July 1940, Aarhus — 24 March 1979) was a Danish writer of children's literature and youth literature and a teacher. He mainly wrote about the interaction between adult and child. The main character in his books is usually an anti-hero. In 1969 he was awarded with the Danish Ministry of Culture's children book prize (Denmark) (Kulturministeriets Børnebogspris)
Kirkegaard grew up in Skanderborg just south of Aarhus and many of his stories were inspired by his own childhood experiences there. He also illustrated his own books. On a cold winter night in 1979 Kirkegaard, on his way home, fell in the snow and could not get up again, after having had too much to drink. He froze to death on location, at just 38 years of age. The street of Ole Lund Kirkegaards Stræde in Skanderborg, is named after him.
GUMMI TARZAN er en sjov og varm historie om drengen Ivan Olsen, der er lille og tynd og ikke har store muskler. I skolen får han buksevand, og læreren skælder ham ud, fordi han ikke kan læse. Derhjemme får han ballade, fordi han kommer hjem med våde busker - og hans far kalder ham Gummi-Tarzan. Men så møder han heksen, der kan opfylde alle hans ønsker i en dag…
Velkommen til Ole Lund Kirkegaards univers, der er en verden fyldt af sjove historier og skægge karakterer, som er elsket af både børn og voksne.
