From this vantage point, Nils witnesses a host of events that provide young readers with an abundance of information about nature, geography, folklore, animal life, and more.Reset in easy-to-read type and enhanced with 10 new illustrations, this inexpensive, unabridged edition will bring new generations of readers under the magical spell of a timeless classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51976232108320,"sku":"NEW0486286118","price":19.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-wonderful-adventures-of-nils-dover-childrens-classics-0486286118","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
