Ny, uforkortet udgave af fortællingen om drengen Niels Holgersen, der forvandles til en tommeliden og på ryggen af en gås flyver over Sverige, er en af Selma Lagerlöfs mest kendte og elskede bøger. Som H.C. Andersens eventyr har den fascineret små og store læsere, som har levet med i de spændende, fantastiske og farlige episoder - og samtidig lært af dens klogskab og usentimentalitet.
