    The statue shows Nils Holgersson emerging from the book and going on his wonderful journey.

    The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Holgersson with the Wild Geese is the title of a novel by the Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf, which was first published in 1906/1907. The original Swedish title is Nils Holgersson Underbara resa genomic Sverige ("Nils Holgersson's wonderful journey through Sweden"). Selma Lagerlöf wrote the book as a school reader: to introduce school children to the geography of Sweden.
    A small, almost inconspicuous statue. But a detour is definitely worth it.
