Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf wrote "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils" as a geography and culture textbook for her home country. Yet, the book about a disobedient boy who turned into a gnome and traveled with a flock of geese transcended the boundaries of a textbook to become a masterpiece of world literature!
Ivan Duke's colorful illustrations show Sweden from a bird's-eye view. To little Nils, this world seems enormous; not only does he discover the beauty of nature, he learns to overcome hardships, empathize with others, and cherish his loved ones and friends.
