	Amazon.com: The Wonderful Adventures of Nils: Books: Selma Lagerlof,Thea Kliros,Velma Swanston Howard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Considered a masterpiece since first published in 1907, this enchanting, remarkably original work by a Nobel Prize-winning author, records the adventures of a mischievous 14-year-old who is changed into a tiny being, transported across the Swedish countryside on the back of a goose, and learns about nature, geography and folklore.
		Nonetheless, once this minor fault (and I am not really sure you can call it a fault) is recognized, the story of Nils is a fantastic one, seemingly not at all distant from native folklore and fairy tales, rich with an earthiness that simply doesn't exist in modern children literature.
		There are passages here that are simply too delightful for description; one which comes to mind is a gathering of all the animals to celebrate the coming of spring--the image and significance crafted by the author are bound to stay with the reader for a life-time.
