Publisher's Synopsis
The Wonderful Adventures of Nils is a classic children's book written by Selma Lagerlof. The story follows a young boy named Nils who is transformed into a tiny elf by a mischievous gnome. Nils is then taken on a magical journey across Sweden, where he meets talking animals and learns valuable lessons about kindness, bravery, and the importance of respecting nature. Along the way, Nils faces many challenges and dangers, but with the help of his animal friends, he perseveres and ultimately learns to appreciate the beauty of the world around him. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the Swedish countryside and its wildlife, making it a delightful read for children and adults alike. The Wonderful Adventures of Nils has been translated into many languages and is considered a classic of children's literature.And over and around all these cliffs and rocks crawl entangled tendrils and weeds. Trees grow there also, but the wind's power is so great that trees have to transform themselves into clinging vines, that they may get a firm hold on the steep precipices. The oaks creep along on the ground, while their foliage hangs over them like a low ceiling; and long-limbed beeches stand in the ravines like great leaf-tents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
