Jumping-Off Place-Marian Hurd McNeely

In this enchanting tale, we meet Nils Holgersson, a mischievous boy who prefers mischief over responsibility. One fateful day, while avoiding church, he captures a tiny elf, only to face the consequences of his actions. The elf punishes him by transforming him into a diminutive version of himself, granting him the extraordinary ability to converse with animals. Joining a flock of wild geese on their migration, Nils embarks on a thrilling adventure across Swedens historical landscapes. As he encounters various challenges and learns valuable life lessons, he discovers that redemption and the chance to regain his original size hinge on his ability to change for the better. Narrated by Gerald Moe.
