"There isn't much that tastes better than to receive praise from those who are themselves wise and capable; and the boy had certainly never felt so happy as he did when the wild goose and the stork talked about him in this way."
The Wonderful Adventures of Nils is a work of fiction by the Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf. The novel is one of Lagerlöf's most well-known books, and it has been translated into more than 30 languages.
The book is about a 14-year-old young lad, Nils Holgersson. He takes great delight in hurting the animals in his family farm. Nils captures a tomte in a net while his family are at church and have left him home to memorize chapters from the Bible. The tomte proposes to Nils that if Nils frees him, the tomte will give him a huge gold coin. Nils rejects the offer and the tomte turns him into a tomte, which leaves him shrunken and able to talk with animals. The animals are thrilled to see the boy reduced to their size and are angry and hungry for revenge. While this is happening, wild geese are flying over the farm on one of their migrations. Nils holds on to, the farm's white goose, Martin's neck as he takes off and joins the wild birds.
Selma Ottilia Lovisa Lagerlöf (1858-1940) was a Swedish author and teacher. She was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, which she was awarded in 1909.
