The Wonderful Adventures of Nils by Selma Lagerlof

Nils, a mischievous boy who disrespects animals, is magically shrunk to tiny size and ends up traveling across Sweden on the back of a goose. As he journeys with a flock of wild geese, he learns compassion, courage, and respect for nature. The plot follows his transformation through a series of adventures, dangers, and encounters with animals and people. The story is both a magical tale and a geography lesson, originally written to teach Swedish schoolchildren about their country. It’s a heartwarming blend of folklore, fantasy, and moral growth.
