One afternoon Akka from Kebnekaise and her flock alighted on the shore of a forest lake. Spring was backward -- as it always is in the mountain districts. Ice covered all the lake save a narrow strip next the land. The geese at once plunged into the water to bathe and hunt for food. In the morning Nils Holgersson had dropped one of his wooden shoes, so he went down by the elms and birches that grew along the shore, to look for something to bind around his foot.

One afternoon Akka from Kebnekaise and her flock alighted on the shore of a forest lake. Spring was backward -- as it always is in the mountain districts. Ice covered all the lake save a narrow strip next the land. The geese at once plunged into the water to bathe and hunt for food. In the morning Nils Holgersson had dropped one of his wooden shoes, so he went down by the elms and birches that grew along the shore, to look for something to bind around his foot. The boy walked quite a distance before he found anything that he could use. He glanced about nervously, for he did not fancy being in the forest. "Give me the plains and the lakes!" he thought. "There you can see what you are likely to meet. Now, if this were a grove of little birches, it would be well enough, for then the ground would be almost bare; but how people can like these wild, pathless forests is incomprehensible to me. If I owned this land I would chop down every tree." On Selma Lagerlof: "She devoted three years to Nature study and to familiarizing herself with animal and bird life. She has sought out hitherto unpublished folklore and legends of the different provinces. These she has ingeniously woven into her story." (From translator Velma Swanston Howard's introduction.) The background for publication was a commission from the National Teachers Association in 1902 to write a geography reader for the public schools.

Autorenporträt
Selma Lagerlöf was a pioneering Swedish author, celebrated for her unique storytelling and profound connection to Swedish folklore. She made history as the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909 and was also the first woman admitted to the Swedish Academy in 1914. Lagerlöf's debut novel, Gösta Berling's Saga, marked the start of her successful literary career. Her works often combine elements of the supernatural with deep emotional and moral exploration. She is known for her ability to transform ordinary stories into profound tales, full of imagination and humanity. Many of her works, including The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, emphasize themes of personal growth, respect for nature, and the importance of kindness. Lagerlöf's writing continues to resonate due to her rich blend of realism and fantasy, and her love for Sweden's landscapes. Her impact on literature, both in Sweden and internationally, remains significant, as her stories continue to inspire readers with their timeless messages of empathy and transformation.
