The host of "Boktipset" Stefan Mählqvist is dead, according to Aftonbladet. During the years 1976 to 1989, he led the book program "Boktipset" on SVT, where he talked about children's and young adult books while sitting in a rainbow-colored sofa. Mählqvist got the idea for the program when he worked at the Swedish Children's Book Institute and during the years, around 200 episodes were made.

Stefan Mählqvist was also a lecturer at the literary science department in Uppsala and specialized in children's and young adult literature.

The family reports to Aftonbladet that he passed away after a period of illness. Stefan Mählqvist became 81 years old.
