One of my favorite childhood books. Emil is funny, smart, creative, always curious and can make you love him right away after the very few first pages.
‘S’not something you plan, mischief, it just happens. And knowing it’s mischief, well you don’t until it’s happened.’

Jag älskar Astrid Lindgren.
Hennes skrivande är helt fantastiskt, man blir helt sluken av boken och varm i kroppen över hur underbart det är. Så bra barnböcker! Jag har bara sett filmerna av Astrid men inte läst alla böcker. Det ska jag definitivt göra.

My kids loved this book- especially my 7 year old. He doesn't tend to like books about children who set out to be mean or horrible,in fact these type of characters often upset my kids (unless they are just messy/smelly- that's ok) so Emil's brand of being 'naughty' by accident is perfect for him. Even when Emil does hoist his little sister up the flagpole he does so because she wants to look at the next town and she's very happy about this- it's his parents who aren't! It is quite archaic in parts as it describes rural Swedish life at the beginning of the 20th century but to be honest this hasn't bothered either of my listeners much as the action centers on Emil and his exploits and that is what interests them. We have all three books in this series so are looking forward to enjoying all three. If you like this try Lindgren's Lotta books as well for younger children and of course the books about Pippi Longstocking later on.
