Vintage Design Niels-Christian ''Fibben'' Hald, born July 12, 1933 in Orrefors, Kalmar County, is a Swedish illustrator and newspaper illustrator. He is the son of Edward Hald. Fibben Hald made his debut in 1963 as a children's book illustrator in Lennart Hellsing's The Cat blew a silver horn. His children's book illustrations are characterized by humor and playfulness. He works with small means and lets his images work in depth. He does not believe in special illustrations for children, his pictures become pictures for all ages. Fibben Hald has illustrated several of Lennart Hellsing's books, including Fabel från Babel (1974), Ägget (1978), Vitt (1984), Tom trumpetarson (1988) and Att act is necessary (1991). In the autumn of 2000, Annika Holm's book Anton och drakarna was published, which is illustrated by Fibben Hald. He has been awarded many prizes and awards, including the Elsa Beskow plaque in 1964, Litteraturfrämjandet's grand prize in 1978 and Rabén & Sjögren's drawing scholarship in 1979.
