Nils Holgersson's wondrous journey through Sweden

Is it even possible to turn a naughty, selfish only child who doesn't like anyone into a good boy? Listen to a story about how sometimes we have to overcome ourselves to be better people. About that, the most important thing, what we can learn in life, is the ability to help others, friendship, love and relationship with animals and nature. Will the fairy tale of Nils, who is cursed into the form of a leprechaun due to his behaviour, turn out well? Will Nils grow into a compassionate and responsible man and turn back into a boy during his quest to find Martin the caterpillar's neck? Join him and have lots of adventures.
