Excerpt from The Wonderful Adventures of Nils

Another critic says: Beyond all doubt, 'nils Holgersson's Journey' is one of the most noteworthy books ever published in our language. I take it, that no other nation has a book of this sort. One can make this or that comment on one and another phase of it, but the whole impresses one as so master ful, so great, and so Swedish, that one lays the book down with a sense of gratitude for the privilege of reading such a thing. There IS a deep undercurrent of Swedish earnestness all through this tale of Nils Holgersson. It belongs to us. It is a part of us.
