Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Amazon doesn't tell you it's an abridged edition - buyers beware
While the book itself is phenomenal, and there's not enough praise I can give it, the hardcover edition sold by Amazon (ISBN number 978-0863151392) is an *abridged* edition of the book. The description does not state that explicitly, and its listed along other editions, some of them (based on the number of pages) are full ones.

So I'd wholeheartedly recommend buying this book -- just get a softcover edition instead, or look for an older hardcover one.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A Wonderful Journey
A great sucess both with grown-ups of Swedish descendence and their grandchildren (hard for a Dane to admit). A Swedish "Paradise Lost".



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Exciting and good message
This is a wonderful book--This edition has BEAUTIFUL illustrations. Nils has one harrowing adventure after another and he also changes from a selfish boy to one who treats animals and other people with care and concern. All this while also teaching the geography of Sweden--an added bonus. It does involve him being bewitched until he learns his lesson so if you have strong feelings about this sort of fantasy you wouldn't want it, but to those who are OK with fairy tale level fanstasy you should find it enchanting.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing book
This is an amazing book that gives so much information on the environmental features of Sweden that adults as well as children will be fascinated by the tale.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - I read it as a kid, and want to share it with my own
It's a wonderful, kind-hearted tale. I readed in Russian and am delighted to find it in English. Will pull children in as well Harry Potter did. In my opinion it's an even better book. It's kinder for one, and it celebrates nature.
