This quote from the Novel Prize winner, Nelly Sachs, about Selma Lagerlof (1848-1940) is one that rings ture not only for Germany but for all of Europe at the turn of the century (19th-20th). Lagerlof was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (1909), and at the height of her literary career, was an internationally acclaimed author, praised by the public and critics alike.

Further Adventures of Nils
This is the sequel to "The Adventures of Nils".It comes close to living up to the first book, but is somewhat more haphazardly organised. Nils continues travelling with the wild geese, sees points of interest in Sweden, meets the author of the book, and must solve a moral dilema.
This is a good book for reading to children of a wide range of ages. My children are 10 and 7 and were both captivated by it, but I could easily see younger children enjoying it as well.

A Wonderful Children's Story!
The sequel to the Wonderful Adventures of Nils, this novel continues Nils journey through Sweden after a brief interlude concerning Greyskin the Elk.It is a continuation and completion of the first novel more than a sequel,so a must-read for anyone who enjoyed the first.This book has slightlymore serious consequences than the first part, but is still suitable foryoung children.Readers will witness the quest of Osa the goosegirl andLittle Mats to find there father, which has a bittersweet ending, as wellas the final resolution of Tummetot's goal to become human again.This isa wonderful book to read aloud, breaking up nicely into chapters, andtelling many different short stories.It is a story superbly told,blending geography, history, and folk lore, as well as making childrenaware of the responsibilities humans have towards their animal neighbors. A classic worth owning! ... Read more
