In the latter capacity he is most noted for the book Kattresan (The Cat Journey), which was published after his death. He lived in the village of Älvängen, north of Gothenburg. After his death from the complications of haemophilia, his house fell into disrepair and was finally demolished. He is buried at Östra kyrkogården in Gothenburg.
