Niels Holgersson (Hans Christian Andersen)

Niels Holgersson is the main character in the Swedish novel "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils" by Selma Lagerlöf, not Hans Christian Andersen. The story follows a young, mischievous boy named Niels who is magically shrunk to a tiny size. He travels across Sweden on the back of a wild goose, experiencing adventures that teach him important lessons about nature, kindness, and responsibility. The book combines elements of fantasy with vivid depictions of Swedish landscapes and culture, ultimately transforming Niels from a selfish boy into a more compassionate person through his journey.
