5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent role model, 25 Mar 1998
By A Customer
I read the book both as a child and as an adult, and I feel it's one of the greatest books written for children as well as adults. Both Ronia and Birk are great role models, and even with the emergence of other strong literary role models for girls, this is a must-read for girls (as well as female adults as there is little emphasis on gender-typing. The English translation by Patricia is very close to the original, and hence, offers a great reading experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic storytelling for bookworms and bedtime alike, 11 Dec 2000
By A Customer
A beautiful book. The familial relationships and questions of Ronia echo every inquisitive child, and the magic of the forest, along with its inhabitants will enthrall any active imagination. Thoroughly recommend this book for children of any age and adults who like to believe in trolls, gnomes, harpies and spirits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful for both adults and children, 9 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I received this book when I was about 10 years old. I have now read it for my daughter who is 6. She absolutely loves it as well as other Astrid Lindgren stories. Since we are Swedish we have read almost everything by this fabulous author, but I believe Ronia is one of my daughters absolute favorites. I urge everyone who have enjoyed anything by Astrid Lindgren to browse through all her books. You will not be disappointed, regardless of age!
