Peukaloisen Retket Villihanhien Seurassa

A mischievous fourteen-year-old boy lies lazy at home while his parents attend church, only to find himself shrunk to the size of a goblin after disturbing a mysterious creature in his mother's chest. Thus begins an extraordinary journey across the Scandinavian wilderness as the tiny boy rides on the backs of wild geese, migrating from southern lands to the far north and back again. Along the way, he encounters forest creatures, a sunken city beneath the waves, and giants from ancient folk tales each encounter reshaping his understanding of the world and his place in it. What starts as a punishment for idle mischief becomes a profound education in empathy, courage, and the interconnectedness of all living things. Lagerlöf, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, weaves Swedish folklore with timeless coming-of-age storytelling, creating a fantasy that feels both wildly imaginative and deeply rooted in the natural world. A century later, this tale retains its magic: it speaks to anyone who has ever felt small against the bigness of life, and dreamed of finding a way to fly.
