The Wonderful Adventure of Nils Holgersson

A masterpiece . . . It showed me that a book could be an adventure. -Gary Shteyngart A childhood favorite. -Philip Gourevitch Among women novelists of great talent or genius, none, in my opinion, is to be placed higher than Selma Lagerlöf. -Marguerite Yourcenar Every book of this great storyteller keeps on bringing us astonishing examples of her art . . . No one in Europe can tell tales so unforgettably. -Hermann Hesse
