Reading for Children (Läsning För Barn)
註釋Zacharius Topelius's Lasning for barn or Reading for Children series appeared on book shelves from 1856-1896. His works are now considered treasure trove of historical significance, and their emphasis on nature, the simplicity of daily life, spirituality, and morality teaches lessons that are just as relevant and important for readers today. Judith Gustafson has painstakingly translated these classic stories into English, making them available for worldwide enjoyment. Her goal was to present them as authentically as possible, bringing out the meaning, tone, and scriptural message that Topelius originally intended. Reading for Children is the perfect collection of stories to be read to or by children. I was pleasantly surprised by the innocence and beauty of Judith's translation. One can sense the poetic art of Zacharius Topelius in the phrasing and stories. It is not easy to translate the intent of the author when many years have passed and the language has evolved. Mrs. Gustafson has performed a difficult task well. -Dwight Gunberg, educator"
