Wonderful Adventure of Nils Holgersson Lagerlof Selma
'The book is grand, beautiful, exciting and poignant ... yet allows for the naughty spirit of childhood to remain true' Guardian 'Never before had Nils travelled around at such good speed, and he had always liked riding fast and wild ... It is full of poetical phrasing ...
But it was like flying away from worries and sorrows and annoyances of every imaginable kind'Nils Holgersson is a naughty boy who pulls the tails of cats and trips up his mother while she is carrying the milk pail. Nor had he thought what it might be like to travel so high above the ground. Then one day he discovers he has been magically turned into a tiny imp.
He climbs on the back of a gander and takes off with a flock of wild geese as they fly over Sweden, soaring above patchwork fields, through storms, to castles and lakes and even to a city under the sea. As he learns about the world, he also learns what it means to care for living things, in Selma Lagerloef's timeless and beloved fable.
