I have a hard time translating my favorite of hers "Karlson and Baby" (?) (in Russian "Malysh i Karlson". AFAIK this book is almost forbidden here in USA...

But Nils is not by Astrid Lindgren, it's by Selma Lagernlerf (?) (I also had hard time spelling her last name, so I decided to not put it). I don't know if we have a good translation of her book in US from Finnish. (or is it Swedish?)
