funny lighthearted relaxing
Ich hab dieses Buch als Kind gelesen und nicht mehr viele Erinnerungen daran gehabt (außer an etwas, was wohl in Teil 2 passiert). Es war so schön, diesen friedlichen Sommer zu hören. Zum Beispiel mit Pelle, der ohne Wurm an der Angel angelt, weil ihm der Wurm leidtut, ebenso der Fisch. Aber er angelt trotzdem, weil ja viele Menschen angeln, ohne dabei einen Fisch zu fangen, also kann das ja nicht der Sinn des Angelns sein.

Jag älskar den här boken. Den har vågskvalp och lycka, olycka och liv. Sommar och barndom och ett underbart språk.

I have no idea anymore how many times I have listened to or read this book. It’s one of my all time favorites and I will read and listen to it again a hundred times. It feels like you are at Saltkråkan together with everyone.

This is such a nostalgic and wonderful story. I love the character Tjorven and the setting of the story reminds me of summer and how I used to spend my summers when I was little.

Since reading this in translation as a child I happened to learn Swedish and this book is just as charming in its original language as I remember it to be. Astrid Lindgren is able to evoke simultaniously the feeling of being a child on summer vacation and being one of the adults looking after them, wanting them to be carefree as long as possible. The children's dialogue is so lifelike and funny! The only downside for me was the long, flowery descriptions of nature's delights – there weren't bad, just not to my taste.
