Historien om Bo Vilhelm Olsson, som blir Mio och hamnar i Landet i fjärran där han får i uppdrag att bekämpa den onda riddar Kato, är en av Astrid Lindgrens mest älskade berättelser. En storslagen, vacker och poetisk saga som väcker tankar om livet och döden, gott och ont, och kärlekens makt. Astrid Lindgren berättade att hon fick idén till boken när hon promenerade genom Tegnérlunden och gick förbi en ensam pojke på en bänk. Det var en mörk höstkväll och han såg så ensam och ledsen ut. Och hon lät honom bo på Upplandsgatan 13 eftersom hon såg honom försvinna in i den porten.

Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, Mister Cleghorn's Seal is a classic in the making from the inimitable Judith Kerr.
When Ishmael joined the crew of a whaling ship called the Pequod, he was eager for a life of adventure on the high seas. But he didn't know that what he was about to embark on would be the adventure of a lifetime. With Captain Ahab at the helm, Ishmael and his crewmates quickly learned that they weren't simply hunting whales. They were on a quest for the biggest catch there ever was: the great white whale of legend, Moby Dick.

Moby Dick or The Whale is a story of Captain Ahab's incessant pursuit of revenge against a whale that had taken his leg but also about a man's ability to let an obsession consume him, which can become an unhealthy fanatic.
Based on the events depicted in the "Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whale-Ship Essex" and the legend of "Mocha Dick,' it is the story of the wandering sailor Ishmael and his voyage aboard the whaling ship the Pequod. Commanded by the obsessed Captain Ahab, a man who is hell-bent on revenge against a white whale of incredible ferocity, the Pequod and its crew are tasked with this singular goal, whatever the emotional or human cost. It is a novel rich with symbolism and complex themes.
But this mythical adventure has never been portrayed in such a powerful way and with such striking illustrations, presenting a new perspective on this cornerstone of American literature. It marks a wonderful entry point for new readers to discover Melville's universe-and a beautiful edition for the countless dedicated readers of this unique novel.
