"This is truly a classic that I stumbled upon. Sure that it is well known in Sweden. Have to keep in mind that it was written to teach Swedish geography as some of these parts can be skimmed over."
"This might be a little slow for a modern audience, but there were some real gems in it, like the chapters The City at the Bottom of the Sea, and The Old Peasant Woman. The basic plot is that a mischievous boy, who has been told to study the Bible while his parents are at church, gets turned into an elf after he spies an elf in the house and tries to capture it. As an elf, he has many adventures while riding on top of a goose migrating north. I was disappointed by the ending-- I thought he'd go home and be changed back into a boy again. I've since learned there is a sequel, so I guess I need to track that down. My 7-year old son enjoyed it."
Pour sêtre moqué d'un lutin de sa maison, Nils va être ensorcelé et devenir à son tour tout petit.
A quatorze ans, Nils Holgersson est un vilain garnement. Un jour, il joue un de ses méchant tour à un lutin.
Celui-ci se venge en transformant Nils en nain. Minuscule et perdu dans la prairie, Nils voit passer un vol d'oies sauvages en migration.
S'accrochant au cou de Akka, son jar préférée pour l'empêcher de partir, il se sent emporté dans les airs. Commence alors pour lui un fantastique et merveilleux voyage à travers la Suède."
