Sponsored mainly by Ericsson, ABB and the Swedish Postal Service, the 1996 account was published by Ristesson Ent in Ludvika and Los Angeles. A fictional chronicler called Erik, Son of Riste relates the factual story, followed by fact boxes about each of the 66 monarchs covered and a number of ancestry charts. Illustrations in the 1996 version (if not otherwise noted in the book) are portrait drawings by the author made from the 1960s to the 1990s,[4] and 3 differently sorted lists of persons were included as well as an appended text rendition in Swedish.
