Selma Lagerlöf was a renowned Swedish writer and the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her fairytale style was shaped by the folk legends and tales told to her bedridden little Lagerlöf by her grandmother and aunt. Trained as a teacher, Selma Lagerlöf created a book that was not only a fairy tale but also useful for raising and developing children. Reading about the captivating journey of the enchanted boy Nils and the goose Martin, children will learn many interesting things about geography, culture, nature, and animals. They will also learn kindness and honesty along with the characters. Immediately after its publication, this fairy tale became the most popular work in Scandinavia. And today, it continues to captivate young readers around the world. The text is presented unabridged, with numerous vibrant illustrations by Igor Pankov.
