The Wonderful Adventure of Nils Holgersson Author: Selma Lagerlof

ISBN: 9780241206089 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 288 Published: 18 July 2016 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 20.0 x 13.4 x 2.7 Description: 'Never before had Nils travelled around at such good speed, and he had always liked riding fast and wild. And he had never thought that it could feel as fresh as it did up in the air, and that such a good smell of topsoil and resin rose up from the earth. It was like flying away from worries and sorrows and annoyances of any sort that could be imagined.'

Nils Holgersson is a naughty boy who tortures animals and never listens to his parents. Until one day he wakes up as an elf and, deeply puzzled by his new status, climbs on a gander's back and flies away with him. As he is carried around Sweden, Nils learns everything about geese, foxes, his country and good behaviour.

Incredibly charming, elegantly translated and beautifully designed, The Wonderful Adventure of Nils Holgersson is a timeless classic for all ages.
