A book written for use in schools as “supplemental reading,” with the special idea of introducing educational and entertaining subjects to children from the ages of nine to eleven. The books were adopted in the public schools of Sweden, but adults have found them books of permanent value. It is the enchanting tale of a mischievous boy who is shrunk by an elf into a tiny being and carried off by a flock of wild geese on a journey to the far North. Through this adventure, Nils learns to respect people and nature.
