The book follows the children of three farms in a small Swedish village called Bullerbyn, in the countryside of Småland. Lisa, who tells the story, her brothers Lasse and Bosse, and neighbors Olle, Britta and Anna go through seasons of play and small events: a night in the hayloft, a day at school, Midsummer, Christmas, a crayfish party, and a lost tooth. Astrid Lindgren's stories celebrate the simple pleasures of rural childhood, with warm humor and little conflict.
A gentle read for families and readers who want a reminder of old-fashioned country childhood. It's best for younger children, who will enjoy the ordinary adventures.
Practical and clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
