I have no idea anymore how many times I have listened to or read this book. It’s one of my all time favorites and I will read and listen to it again a hundred times. It feels like you are at Saltkråkan together with everyone.

This is such a nostalgic and wonderful story. I love the character Tjorven and the setting of the story reminds me of summer and how I used to spend my summers when I was little.

Since reading this in translation as a child I happened to learn Swedish and this book is just as charming in its original language as I remember it to be. Astrid Lindgren is able to evoke simultaniously the feeling of being a child on summer vacation and being one of the adults looking after them, wanting them to be carefree as long as possible. The children's dialogue is so lifelike and funny! The only downside for me was the long, flowery descriptions of nature's delights – there weren't bad, just not to my taste.

Un libro che parla di animali e di bambini che amano gli animali, perfetto per chi ama (o sogna) avventure all'aria aperta.
I protagonisti della storia sono i piccoli Pelle e Melina, le loro marachelle, le loro idee e la loro passione per gli animali (ammetto che io forse avrei preferito seguire le avventure di Johan e Niklas: a leggerle così tra le righe sembravano più entusiasmanti).
La storia racconta di due estati e un inverno in un mondo di libertà e aria aperta, senza diavolerie tecnologiche. la storia procede molto per “episodi”, come se fossero tante piccole scenette e idee giustapposte. Il finale è un attimo più costruito, ma rimane sulla stessa linea.
Leggere questo libro mi ha rilassata molto, mi ha ricordato le mie estati di ragazzina in campagna. Penso che i bambini siano quelli che sanno apprezzare meglio questa storia, ma può essere una lettura gradevole anche per gli adulti che hanno un animo amante della natura.

It's easy for people to think that writing books for children is far more easier than literature for adults. However, I'm convinced that the art of writing brilliant children's books can be just as demanding, maybe even more. Lindgren is in my opinion the greatest children's writer of our time. Her skilled way of creating memorable, beautiful and realistic characters and plots mirrors her own brilliance. The book has to be understood and loved by BOTH young and older minds, which is a challenge indeed.
I wanted to read a feelgood novel with an atmosphere of summer. I couldn't have chosen a better book. As an adult I laughed and I cried during the pages, totally immersed in the lives of the protagonists. I can't imagine anyone not falling in love with this dream of a book. He/she has either to be stupid or simply not have completed the whole book.

Einfach ein Klassiker und mein Lieblingskinderbuch, das mit so vielen schönen Erinnerungen verknüpft ist<3
Diesmal habe ich es zwar auf deutsch gelesen, aber das schwedische Hörbuch zum Teil mitgehört, um mein Schwedisch ein bisschen zu verbessern. Das Buch in seiner Originalsprache zu hören war eine schöne Erfahrung, da ich es bis dahin nur in seiner deutschen Übersetzung kannte:)
