1907, för 110 år sedan, utkom den andra och sista delen av Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige för första gången. Under åren har den lästs av miljontals svenska skolbarn och översatts till ett sextiotal språk. Men tiden har gått hårt åt den en gång så spännande berättelsen. Mycket har blivit omodernt och många av dagens barn förstår helt enkelt inte vad det står i boken. I denna nyutgåva har Arne Norlin, en av våra mest uppskattade barnboksförfattare, gjort en omfattande bearbetning. Han har tagit fasta dels på de gripande djurhistorierna med Karrs och Gråfälls saga som ett givet huvudnummer, dels på Nils Holgerssons egen utvecklingshistoria från lat och elak till god och modig. Under resan på gåsens rygg lär sig pysslingen nämligen att samarbeta, ta hänsyn, hjälpa till och bry sig om. Originalets sexhundra sidor har blivit knappt hundrafemtio. Och boken är illustrerad av konstnären Anton Pieck. Bilderna gjordes först för en upplaga som utkom i Nederländerna 1957. På pärmarnas insidor kan man dessutom följa med på en karta över Nils Holgerssons och vildgässens resa från Skåne till Lappland och tillbaka. ARNE NORLIN (f. 1947) är journalist och författare. Han har ett förflutet som reporter på Aftonbladet och är kanske mest känd för sina uppskattade barn- och ungdomsböcker, som till exempel Nussekudden och serierna om Halvan och fotbollsfansen Tove och Noel. Men han har också utkommit med rosade fackböcker för vuxna, bland annat Familjen Bernadotte Makten, myterna, människorna (Fischer & Co, 2015) "Bearbetningen är mycket känslig och välgjord och Anton Piecks illustrationer från en nederländsk utgåva från 1957 är väldigt suggestiva. På pärmens insida finns en karta där man kan följa Nils och gässens resa. Jag hoppas verkligen att man i undervisningen kan återuppta den här boken som den var tänkt; en spännande och rolig geografibok som kan sätta fantasin i rullning och som dessutom passar utmärkt som högläsning för yngre barn."

Innan han ska gå igenom säkerhetskontrollen får han en kram av mamma. "Ha det nu så roligt på lovet", säger hon. "Särskilt i Berlin". Sedan öppnar hon handväskan och plockar fram ett paket. "En lite för tidig julklapp. Du får öppna den på planet." "Tack", säger han och klämmer på paketet. Det är hårt och platt. "Hör av dig när du kommer fram", säger mamma. "Och hälsa till pappa." Och så kramar hon honom igen. Det här kommer bli bäst, tänker han när han går genom säkerhetskontrollen. Helt klart jättebäst.

Rashi's Daughter, Secret Scholar was adapted from the first book in this series, Volume 1: Joheved. The tale of a young girl who challenges conventions to engage in Jewish learning; Set in 11th-century Troyes, France, Rashi's Daughter, Secret Scholar tells the story of Joheved, eldest daughter of Salomon ben Isaac (known as Rashi), one of the great medieval Jewish Bible commentators. At a time when women traditionally were barred from studying Jewish texts, Rashi secretly teaches first Joheved, then her sister Miriam. By day, Joheved helps in running the household and the family winemaking business, and by night she studies Talmud with her father. As she nears marriageable age, Joheved finds her mind and spirit awakened by religious study, but she must keep her passion for learning and prayer hidden. When she becomes betrothed to Meir ben Samuel, she is forced to choose between marital happiness and being true to her love of the Talmud. Will she fulfill the expected role of a Jewish woman or pursue a path of Jewish learning?
