Synopsis

In "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils," Selma Lagerlöf crafts a captivating narrative that combines the charm of a children's adventure with the profound reflections of a moral fable. Set against the backdrop of Sweden's picturesque landscapes, this book follows the journey of a young boy, Nils, who is transformed into a tiny creature and compelled to travel across the country on the back of a goose. Lagerlöf's prose is rich and lyrical, echoing the folkloric traditions of Swedish storytelling, while weaving themes of transformation, respect for nature, and the importance of humility into this enchanting saga. The book is not only a delightful tale for children but also serves as a powerful commentary on the relationship between humanity and the natural world, exemplifying the complexities of individual growth against societal expectations. Selma Lagerlöf, the first female writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, is renowned for her ability to blend realism with fantasy. Her upbringing in the rural Swedish countryside and her deep admiration for folklore and mythology significantly influenced her literary creation. Lagerlöf experienced the disconnect between industrialization and tradition firsthand, immersive such themes in her works, often advocating for the preservation of cultural narratives and the importance of moral responsibility. I highly recommend "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils" not only for its engaging storytelling but for its rich insights into the Swedish spirit and the human condition. This timeless classic invites readers of all ages to explore the magic of adventure while reflecting on their place within the tapestry of the natural world.

    A diabolical character is out to rewrite the fate of all fairytales in the eighth adventure in the New York Times–bestselling children’s series.   Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have studied hundreds of stories as part of their training as fairy-tale detectives. But they’re about to get caught up in the action when they follow the scheming Master into the Book of Everafter. Inside this mysterious tome, copies of the world’s fairytale characters live out their stories over and over again.   The Grimms must track down the Master while avoiding the Book’s tyrannical Editor—who is devoted to keeping the stories on track—and his army of story-gobbling revisers. In the Book of Everafter, stories can be rewritten and destinies changed, which is why Sabrina and Daphne must find the Master before he can alter his own fate—and the fate of the whole world.   Reissued with new cover art, these anniversary editions of the beloved Sisters Grimm series are the perfect opportunity for old fans to revisit the Grimm family’s adventures and for new readers to discover the magic of the series.
