Title: Don't believe the hype
Review: I'm not sure why so many people are obsessed by this and other Beskow books. It's a sweet story that recalls a place and time most people today don't know. The values are good, but the translation needs some serious work and the other errata drive me nuts with each reading. I find myself altering some phrases to make it more relevant and understandable. I find it frustrating that so few people are willing to acknowledge the problems with Beskow books.
