- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great to read again after 45 years! Surprisingly modern ecological and nostalgic theme.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While this is a very famous story, it's not in my view a good children's book, at least by modern standards. It's quite slow and rather boring, spending far more time on Swedish geography, history, flora, fauna, folktales, and life during the 1800s and early 1900s than it on its purported story. If you plan to read this story to kids, find a greatly edited book that contains a lot of illustrations and maps and read them that. The original 2-volume set is better read by adults who can put up with its antique style and its lack of illustrations and maps. So I'd recommend it, but with reservations when it comes to kids.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Die Geschichte von Nils, der in einen Wichtel verwandelt wird und sich zusammen mit einem weißen Hausgänserich einer Wildgansschar anschließt, ist zu Recht berühmt. Die meisten Leute werden sie aus dem Zeichentrickfilm kenne, der sich eigentlich recht eng an die Originalvorlage hält (außer, dass Nils im Film einen Hamster hat). Selma Lagerlöf hat das Buch als Auftragsarbeit geschrieben. Es ist ein Schulbuch und bringt Kindern Schweden aus der Vogelperspektive nahe. Sagen und Märchen der jeweiligen Regionen sind eingearbeitet. Nils entwickelt sich vom rohen unbeherrschten Bengel zu einem moralisch integren jungen Burschen. Im Buch kommt noch ein weiterer Handlungsstrang mit einer Hauptfigur vor, die parallel ablaufende Handlung über das Mädchen Åsa, das nach Lappland wandert. Das fehlt im Zeichentrickfilm und im Hörbuch. Das Hörbuch ist stark gekürzt und erzählt nur einige der Episoden aus dem Buch. Es ist toll gelesen und zeigt, welch schönes Buch Nils Holgersson ist. Durch die Kürzung kommt allerdings der Gesamtcharakter des Buches nicht raus und Übergänge sind oft recht aprupt.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5After a brief encounter with an elf, a rude young boy named Nils is turned into a miniature version of himself who can now communicate with animals.This was an interesting book, to say the least. For starters, I was surprised by how lengthy this picture book is and how much text was crammed in per page. I noticed this with another picture book translated from Swedish into English and am wondering if perhaps that's just how picture books are made in Scandinavian countries. (Just surmising, I have no real expertise on this subject.) It is broken down into chapters, but every page has illustrations like a picture book. It is more likely for older elementary school students because the attention span will just not be there with younger children, unless of course it is read just a chapter or two at a time. I'm guessing there's a moral in here somewhere about being a good person and a loyal friend, but it's kind of hard to tell at times. The adventures are more like mishaps than edge-of-your-seat thrills, although I find that's fairly common in many children's books with that title or subtitle. Still, there wasn't much in here that really felt exciting or noteworthy in any way. I read it a week ago and I've already pretty much forgotten most of it.The illustrations are done with a limited palette of blues, reds, and some browns. The really neat aspect was every so often there are these stencil-cut pages. (I really don't know how else to describe them.) There will be a page spread with just an illustration of a scenic backdrop and in between them is a page that allows you to see through to the backdrop either way. This stencil-cut page will show the outline of a bear, birds, trees, etc. It was quite lovely and my niece and I both agreed it was an awesome addition to the book.Oddly enough, the character 'cheat sheet' and table of contents were at the very end of the book. So was a map of Sweden, which highlighted the journey the geese took as they migrated. That was pretty neat for showing the geographic context. This will probably be especially useful for those who are unfamiliar with Sweden's various regions.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great adventure story and fantasy, although it was written as a geography lesson for Swedish children! Worth reading for any child.
