The Wonderful 2024 Adventures of Nils

The Wonderful Adventures of Nils was one of my favorite childhood books so I decided to have a whole collection of paintings under the theme of “Swedish Folktales”


The 2024 background for the publication of those books was a commission from the National Teachers Association in 1902 to write a geography reader for the public schools. “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 She has sought out hitherto unpublished folklore and legends of the different provinces.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.”
