Always That Emil (Lindgren)

Michel, five years old and strong as a little ox, lives on the Katthult farm in Lönneberga, a village in Småland in southern Sweden. With his round blue eyes and light, woolly hair, one might almost take him for an angel—when he is asleep. But when he is not asleep, he has more mischief in his head than any other boy in all of Lönneberga, or all of Småland, or all of Sweden, or perhaps even in the whole world!
The complete edition contains the individual volumes "Emil in the Soup Tureen," "Emil Gets Into Mischief," and "Emil and the Great Escape."
