Later versions

[edit]

An audiobook version of the story was released as an LP album in 1978 by the Swedish acid/psych progg duo of Peter Lundblad and Torbjörn Eklund. An animated film featuring the music from the audiobook was also made by Johan Hagelbäck in 1980, and a children's play followed. In 2006 the main character (Knytt in Swedish) was featured in the indie game series, Knytt. The series consisted of 3 releases and one expansion. The final release, Knytt Underground, was published in 2012.[1][2]
