About This Book

This book was designed to present the geography of Sweden to nine-year-olds, but quickly won international fame and popularity. The story of the naughty boy who climbs on the gander's back and is then carried the length of the country, learning both geography and good behavior as he goes, has captivated adults and children alike. The elegance of the present translation - the first full translation into English - is beautifully complemented by the illustrations specially created for the volume. Selma Lagerlf was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909.
