This study investigates and evaluates a project called "Hisnande historier: från Bellman till Batman". "Hisnande historier" is composed to stimulate childrens literacy and it is directed towards pupils in the fourth class. The project is a co-operation between public librarians and compulsory school representatives in the municipality of Ystad. It contains visits by an author and exercises in reading and writing. We have been following the project during autumn 1998 at two schools in Ystad. The main purpose of this study is to make a formative evaluation of "Hisnande historier". In order to do this we have collected data through interviews with participators and initiators, questionnaires given to the pupils, observations of the author's visits to the classes and studies of relevant literature. Our investigation shows that the initiatiors and participators have different attitudes towards the purpose of the project. This has unfortunately deteriorated the communication between the participators and they have, in some cases, been working in different directions. Although everyone involved was satisfied with the project in it's present form, our study shows that if the long-term aims of "Hisnande historier" are to be achived the initiators will have to improve the commmunication with the participators and present more explicit aims to work towards.
