Nils Holgersson's Wonderful Journey through Sweden (1906-07) is
truly unique. Starting life as a commissioned school reader
designed to present the geography of Sweden to nine-year-olds, it
quickly won the international fame and popularity it still enjoys
over a century later. The story of the naughty boy who climbs on
the gander's back and is then carried the length of the country,
learning both geography and good behaviour as he goes, has
captivated adults and children alike, as well as inspiring
film-makers and illustrators. The elegance of the present
translation - the first full translation into English - is
beautifully complemented by the illustrations specially created for
the volume.
