The Folk Classification of Ceramics
The Folk Classification of Ceramics: A Study of Cognitive Prototypes provides a general understanding of folk classification that compares cognitive structures across cultures through anthropological field studies.

The Wonderful Adventures of Nils
In The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, Selma Lagerlöf tells the story of Nils Holgersson, a young boy who is transformed into an elf after a set of misdeeds. Escaping with his family’s farm goose he joins up with a flock of wild geese and travels with them across Sweden as they return to their annual nesting grounds in Lapland. The story was originally written as a commission for the Swedish National Teachers’ Association to write a geography book for children and has become a firm favourite in the country. It’s been adapted for screen many times, translated into over 30 languages and, until recently, was the artwork on the 20 krona banknote. Although originally published in English in two volumes—the second starting at “The Story of Karr and Grayskin”—here they are presented as a single combined story.

A visit in 1900 to the American Colony in Jerusalem became the inspiration for Lagerlöf's book by that name. The royal family and the Swedish Academy gave her substantial financial support to continue her passion. Jerusalem was also acclaimed by critics, ...
Wunderbare Reise des kleinen Nils Holgersson mit den WildgŠnsen: Ein Kinderbuch
Es war einmal ein Junge. Er war ungefähr vierzehn Jahre alt, groß und gut gewachsen und flachshaarig. Viel nutz war er nicht, am liebsten schlief oder aß er, und sein größtes Vergnügen war, irgend etwas anzustellen. Es war an einem Sonntagmorgen, und die Eltern machten sich fertig, in die Kirche zu gehen. Der Junge saß in Hemdärmeln auf dem Tischrande und dachte, wie günstig das sei, daß Vater und Mutter fortgingen und er ein paar Stunden lang tun könne, was ihm beliebe. „Jetzt kann ich Vaters Flinte herunternehmen und schießen, ohne daß es mir jemand verbietet,“ sagte er zu sich. Aber es war fast, als habe der Vater die Gedanken seines Sohnes erraten, denn als er schon auf ...
