Scandinavia's best-loved children's classic, from the first female
writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature
A Penguin Classic
Nils Holgersson is a naughty boy who tortures animals and never listens
to his parents--until one day he wakes up as an elf. Deeply puzzled by
his new status, he climbs on a gander's back and flies away with him,
joining a flock of wild geese. As he is carried around Sweden, Nils
learns everything about birds, animals, his country and good behavior.
Incredibly charming and poignant, The Wonderful Adventure of Nils
Holgersson is a timeless classic loved by generations of children
around the world.
