Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige by Selma Lagerlöf
5.0
It is a lovely story.
Nils is a young boy who is a real a-hole. He is mean to everyone, especially animals, he is lazy, stubborn, full of mischief... then one day he's mean to a wrong person, and becomes a gnome.
This is the story of his summer with the wild geese, flying from Southern Sweden to Northern and then back again. There are many adventures during the journey, and many stories. This book talks about the importance of being kind to your fellow beings (especially animals), about nature and caring for nature, about love of father's land; it's a beautiful description of Sweden.
Selma writes in a very engaging manner and it's easy to read.
I love the end. Even though it was very sad, it was also very lovely. I'm sitting here crying and smiling at the same time.
