Summary "Peukaloisen retket villihanhien seurassa" by Selma Lagerlöf is a children's fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a mischievous young boy, who becomes enchanted and finds himself transformed into a tiny being resembling a goblin, leading him on a whimsical adventure accompanied by wild geese. This charming tale explores themes of curiosity, transformation, and the connection between man and nature, which become evident as the boy encounters various characters and learns important life lessons. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to a fourteen-year-old boy who prefers lounging and mischief to attending church with his parents. While his parents are in church, the boy tries to read a sermon but falls asleep instead. Upon awakening, he discovers an open chest belonging to his mother, which he finds curious. To his astonishment, he encounters a small goblin-like figure sitting atop the chest. When the boy attempts to prank the creature, he inadvertently unleashes magic, resulting in his transformation into a tiny version of himself. The opening sets up a journey of self-discovery as he realizes the consequences of his actions and the importance of empathy, leading to a series of fantastical events involving the wild geese he encounters.
