Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Join Nils as he is shrunk to the size of a thumb and embarks on a fantastical journey across the wilds of Sweden, from the glittering Baltic to the frozen north.
This Scandinavian classic, written by Nobel prize-winning Selma Lagerlöf, is exquisitely illustrated by renowned illustrator Olivier Latyk and incorporates a series of laser-cut pages. These create depth and enhance detail to tremendous effect, lending the book a unique and delicate charm.
With soft winter scenes and a gentle but engrossing story, with and underlying message of learning to respect the natural world, The Wonderful Adventures of Nils makes an ideal gift for any reader, young or old, with a taste for fun and adventure.
"Contains 6 beautiful paper-cut pages"--Cover.
Selfish and lazy, Nils learns kindness and wisdom after he is bewitched into an elf-sized boy and carried off by a barnyard goose to join the migration of wild geese across Sweden to Lapland.
