Annett Renneberg - The Wonderful Journey of Little Nils Holgersson

A reading from the novel "The Wonderful Journey of Little Nils Holgersson with the Wild Geese" by Selma Lagerlöf - the Swedish author who in 1909 became the first woman in the world to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. The book was written three years earlier as a reading text for Swedish elementary schools: a fourteen-year-old boy travels across the entire Kingdom of Sweden on the back of the gander Martin, from Scania in the south to Lapland in the north.

Actress Annett Renneberg, known from television series such as "Kommissar Stolberg" and "In aller Freundschaft", reads excerpts from this travel narrative. She is accompanied on the piano by Hideyo Harada, performing arrangements of Swedish folk songs by Wilhelm Peterson-Berger as well as piano works by Ludvig Norman and Elfrida Andrée.
