Nils' Amazing Journey with Wild Geese

Selma Lagerlöf created her most famous work, “Nils Holgersson's Amazing Journey with Wild Geese in Sweden,” while she was working as a school teacher. Initially, the book was conceived as a geography textbook, with the help of which the writer wanted to introduce children to their home country. However, the story turned out to be so fascinating that even adults fell in love with it, was translated into many languages, went through a large number of reprints and brought Lagerlöf worldwide recognition, making her the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. More than a hundred years have passed since the first publication, but the fairy tale about a boy named Nils, who one day, having turned into a tiny man, went on an unforgettable journey across Sweden with a flock of wild geese, is winning the hearts of more and more readers. In this edition, “Nils Holgersson's Amazing Journey with Wild Geese in Sweden” is given unabridged and is accompanied by wonderful, like the story itself, illustrations by Bertil Lübeck and Mary Hamilton Fry.
