My favourite book


My favourite book is «Emil of Lonneberga». Author is Astrid Lindgren. The country is Sweden. Genre is children.The book was published by 1963-1997. It has 3 parts․ I've read all three of them and everyone liked me․ It's a very children's book, but I read it with great pleasure and I'm ready to read it once more․
 Emil Svensson lives with his family on a farm called Katthult, set in the village of Lönneberga a few miles from the town of Vimmerby. His age ranges in the books from about five to eight. His fair hair and blue eyes make him look like an angel, but he is not. He has a prodigious knack for getting into trouble. Emil is not malicious, as many around him think; he simply fails to see the consequences of his actions. He even states at one point, "You don't make up pranks, they just happen." They consist of kindly actions gone wrong, childish games, curiosity, bad luck and plain thoughtlessness. For example, he gives away food meant for visiting relatives to the poor, who need it more. He manages to lock his father into the outhouse accidentally, while locking other doors. He hoists his willing little sister up a flagpole to see how far she could see from there. While playing "pretend" he makes everyone believe they have contracted typhus.․․
In the end, Emil is said to grow up into a responsible and resourceful man, eventually becoming Chairman of the Village Council.
