One of the best children's books ever

if you're used to the magic world of Lindgren's other books, this one is soberingly realistic. A family's holiday in their badly chosen summer cottage will stick in your memory for the rest of your life, whether you're 10 or 80. All the characters are just so alive, and situations so heartbeakingly familiar, they make this book a classic for all times, a must-read for your kids.

One of the best children books ever

Review by Robert's wife Daniela: This book tells the story of a Swedish writer and his family spending their vacation in a cottage on the Swedish island Saltkrokan. My dad read this book to me when I was 8 years old and I am now reading it to my son. After more than 30 years I can still laugh and cry ...

One of my favorites

When I was a kid it was one of my favorites. Now I am 27 and it still is. It's about a summer in a peaceful island where a Swedish family spend their vacation. I read this books every spring when I miss summer so much...

Entertaining and funny

When I was ten I loved this book. Now I am almost forty, and I still find it entertaining and touching. I would love to read it to my children, but unfortunately, like most Astrid Lindgren's books, it is not in print.
