Jetzt entdecken.If Enid Blyton Had Been Swedish, and a Bit Edgier This is a warm and affectionate memoir of a close family's summer on a remote island, but I read it as a bit edgier, and thus more interesting , than many of the reviewers who have comfy childhood memories of this book.
This isn't "The Sound of Music" with fish. The Melkerson family comprises father Melker, who is rather scatterbrained, theatrical and ineffectual, except when he's not.
We have twelve and thirteen year old Johan and Niklas and "bab If Enid Blyton Had Been Swedish, and a Bit Edgier This is a warm and affectionate memoir of a close family's summer on a remote island, but I read it as a bit edgier, and thus more interesting , than many of the reviewers who have comfy childhood memories of this book.
We have twelve and thirteen year old Johan and Niklas and "baby" Pelle who are more typical young boys. She is buffeted and confused and exasperated by all of her roles and is fascinating as she switches gears and moods during the course of the summer, actually, sometimes during the course of a day.
On top of all of this we have the islanders, who are a mixed bag of characters, mostly with redeeming or at least eccentric and engaging qualities.
Leading the island pack is seven year old Tjorven, a willful independent neighbor girl who is usually at the center of the action.
This has some vinegar and conflict and spark that spices up the island summer. There are touching family scenes, some sensitive nature writing, a few antic comedy events, lots of swimming and boating, some very dry humor, a dog and a fish having a staring contest , a bit of suspense and adventure, and some broad humor.
Underlying it all is an odd blend of cheer and wistfulness. The Melkerson children can be difficult or careless, but Lindgren draws them with affection, not judgment, and leaves us with a sweet and bracing memory of a real family during a real summer in a real place.
This may be children's literature, but the emphasis here is on literature. Although it's curious to note that this is actually a novelization of the beloved 13 episode T.
Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of the new edition of this book, same Ramsden translation , in exchange for a candid review.
Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book. Little idillic island parted from the main land.
Few good people live here in peace, having simple jobs, great food, amazing landscapes and a lot of fun. Pelle, same age, who's living here with his family in Summer and having wasps as pets.
Stina, who's fighting with Tjorven for Pelle attention and having Little idillic island parted from the main land. Stina, who's fighting with Tjorven for Pelle attention and having a little seal.
Melker Melkersson, Epikhodov-like arrogant Pelle's father, who can't do anything right and tends a lot towards theatretical poses and speeches, but recieves a lot of love from his children.
Johan and Niklas, his other two sons who are Tommy and Annika of this story. And Teddy and Freddy, two Tjorven sisters, who are teaching Johan and Niklas to live on this isolated island.
Malin, elder sister of Pelle, Johan and Niklas, who plays mother's role in their family since they have no real mother and whole gallery of her admirers.
Children are fighting guys who are hitting on Malin, fearing they will loose her. Tjorven and Stina competing over Pelle.
Melker tries to play a cool guy in front of other people. All those people are fun, funny and good and yet not sugary even a little bit. A lot of beatifull realistic prose by Astrid Lindgren, which we loved with my daughter.

Generally Astrid Lindgren can do no wrong for me and I know she can't help the period she grew up in and all the ingrained sexism and gender roles but wow, some serious side-eye here for how a year-old-girl is totally expected by everyone to cheerfully embrace and love her role as kitchen slave and replacement mum for her scatterbrained widowed writer dad and "lovably" terrible three younger brothers.

I think I'm just gonna focus on the celebration of uninhibited childhood funtimes and animal rights, instead :p View 2 comments.
I'm marking this historical fiction though it was contemporary when it was written in the s. The Mekerson family has rented a cottage on Seacrow Island for the summer.
Their planned holiday doesn't quite go as expected at first: the island is only accessible by boat, they arrived in the pouring rain to a freezing cold, damp house with a leaky roof and the only children are girls!
Once the sun comes out, however, the Melkersons discover just how charming Seacrow Island is. From the old beyond I'm marking this historical fiction though it was contemporary when it was written in the s.
From the old beyond her years little Tjorven and her dog to tomboyish girls always ready for adventure, the Melkerson boys have a magical summer.
It's only the eldest, Malin, age 19, who wonders when her time for a romantic adventure will come. This story was really slow to start off with and I had a hard time getting into it.
It didn't pick up for me until the last third when there was a cohesive plot to glue the story together and keep me reading.
The Melkersons are not all that interesting or memorable, but the people they meet and the adventures they have are both interesting and enjoyable.
With the island setting this story could have been set in Maritime Canada or New England. It felt like Maine to me. I felt very sorry for Malin having to assume a motherly caregiver role at such a young age.
Between Pelle's dependency and the older boys' teasing, she had no chance at a personal life. Pelle is the character I can relate to the most.
I identified with his need for an animal companion and felt his emotions right along with him. I liked little Tjorven and her beloved pets.
When I was that age I would have loved to be a part of their adventure with Moses and probably would have acted the same way. I also loved her rivalry with Stina and Stina's firm belief in fairy tales.
That part was very funny. I wasn't crazy about Mr. He's like a big child and relies on Malin as much as the boys do- if not more. He was so absent-minded and lost to anything practical.
His attempts to make the house more convenient for Malin were amusing but mostly I found him annoying. The ending is a little unrealistic but charming and just right for a children's book written in the midth century.
I just love Astrid Lindgren so much and she is my childhood. I honestly want to jump into almost all of her stories and live their lives.
A good comfort read about the perfect summer holiday. The house is less than perfect, but that makes it more like "camping out" for the kids.
Each of the four Melkerson gets a chapter or two in which to shine, from little animal-loving Pele and his island friends to yr-old Malin that all the boys flock to, though she just wants to sit alone and relax from her family duties.
Mum died in childbirth so it just naturally fell to her to take over as "parent" at the age of Their father is yet an A good comfort read about the perfect summer holiday.
Their father is yet another child for Malin to look after, an otherworldly writer who thinks he can do anything and often tries, with disastrous results.
The only character I didn't care for was little Tjorven, a bossy six-year-old girl who manages to make most people, kids and adults both, do what she wants.
Which is surprising, as her character is pretty obnoxious, yelling "Are you deaf?? I found that interesting, as at first she is presented as a loveable, pretty little girl that everyone adopts as soon as they see her.
Maybe the author herself didn't warm to her. I have heard that often characters will not do what the author wants them to do; Tjorven may be a case in point.
And of course all kids know someone like her, who uses her "cuteness" to get her own way with adults, while tyrannising over her peers in games etc.
And some of them never grow out of it, continuing to do this well into adulthood. I do know I got tired of her, and found myself skimming scenes she was in because she got far too much page-time toward the end.
The Melkersons rent a home on an island accessible only by boat. The father is a widower. The oldest daughter takes care of household things.
The youngest son loves animals. Melkerson plans to go to the house each year on vacation, but his plans are threatened when the house is to be sold.
It's a "comfort read" more than a children's book. I prefer Pippi Longstocking to this book, but it might make a good read aloud for some children.
Such a delightful book, full of family love, friendship and childhood adventure. I have long been a fan of Astrid Lindgren what childhood is complete without Pippi Longstocking?!
In theory this seems a very unexciting, and unoriginal, premise for a story- a family rent a cottage for the summer on Seacrow Island. One of the major differences here — with I have long been a fan of Astrid Lindgren what childhood is complete without Pippi Longstocking?!
One of the major differences here — with no disrespect to either of the titles mentioned earlier, as I love both — is that this is about a family.
This is not children going off alone, but it is about the dynamics of a family and how they react to being away from the bustle of the city and how the residents of that island react to them.
In that sense, it is something children can relate to much more easily. After all, not that many children are really allowed to go off and spend time on uninhabited islands, but many more have experienced family holidays; complete with the rather basic accommodation that the family are faced with.
The Melkerson family consists of a father and his four children — his nineteen year old daughter, Malin, who is very much the mother figure in this book, Johan, Niklas and seven year old Pelle.
The father is impulsive and childlike and so Malin very much has to keep him in check and organise everything. This is about nature, relationships and a long summer, in which the family get to explore both the place they are in and how they feel about their lives.
This is not all warmth and charm and ease, but it is very realistic and, ultimately, heart warming. I have a lot of admiration for Astrid Lindgren and I hope readers will explore her other books, outside of the most famous Pippi Longstocking stories, as there is so much to enjoy.

So I went into this fully expecting to love it, but somehow, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The problem, I think, though, is that I am no longer a child.
I have simply come to this book too late in life. Had I read it in childhood - perhaps during a vacati I read this as my entry for "A Children's Classic" in the back to the classics-challenge Had I read it in childhood - perhaps during a vacation at the seaside - I would surely love it now as much as Lindgren's other books that I read as a child.
The story is very wholesome and sweet, perhaps a little too sweet for a jaded adult like myself. But f0r a child, particularly a whimsical, "old-soul", nostalgic child as I was many moons ago, this would have surely been perfect.
The passages from Malin's diary do read a little dated and breathe the atmosphere of the s books for girls I found in my mother's childhood bookshelf, but the rest of the story is as fresh and atmospheric as Lindgren's other stories.
If anything, this book made me very sad. Sad, because I am no longer the child who can appreciate this world. Written in the s, this story follows the Melkerson family as they spend the summer at the Carpenter's Cottage on Seacrow Island located in the Swedish archepeliago.
There's the quirky dad; the older sister, Malin, who holds the family together; the two older boys; and young Pelle--no mother and we never learn why.
This is a good story with a Swedish feel about it. At some point in the book, each chapter is an adventure all by itself.

I had to give this story lots of stars; afterall, Astrid Lindgren wrote the "Pippi Longstocking" books. Curious-minded Tjorven might just make the best kids book ever written!
An excellent guidebook for dealing with common everyday nuisances such as awkward adults, boyfriends and nosy neighbors I reread it often, at least once a year.
When I come across it on people's shelves, I have to pick it up and skim a few pages. Ilon Wickland's illustrations are the best! View all 3 comments.
A really nice book. This should be my favourite book when I was young, if I read it then. It is a book with all perfect elements, a beautiful island, a nice house, lovely children, a weird dad, a big nice dog, a seal as a pet.
A delight to read with my daughter. She loved all the antics of "Uncle Melker" as well as related to the younger children. A beautiful story about the things that make life worth living.
This is such a nostalgic and wonderful story. I love the character Tjorven and the setting of the story reminds me of summer and how I used to spend my summers when I was little.
Pure childhood joy. I've read this book before and liked it, but this time it established itself as one of my all time favourites.
Sure, Melker is a big man-child, but he is also lovable. Though, I am sorry for Malin. Loved it! A special delight of this story was in this interweaving of different generations, little joys and worries of adults, adolescents, teenagers, and young children.
Usually, children books are just for one particular auditory, being dedicated to one child or a group of children of the same age; if they are of different ages, they anyway act and think quite synchronically, and everything else is just a background.
Here, we have a beautiful mosaic from real life. It is very pleasant and live Loved it! It is very pleasant and lively.
I enjoyed them a lot! However, mostly her books concern very usual or not-so-usual-but-completely-realistic children and their little pleasures and troubles.

Ich habe dieses Buch meinem Sohn am See vorgelesen, obwohl es ihm dort doch eigentlich immer viel zu langweilig war. Aber damit konnte ich ihn locken.
Witzig, kindlich-naiv, spannend. Es handelt sich um ein Zitat des Schriftstellers Thomas Thorild Heimliche Sorge der männlichen Melchersons ist, dass Malin heiratet und die Familie verlässt.
Johann und Niklas vergraulen daher jeden jungen Mann, der sich in Malins Nähe wagt, vor allem den eingebildeten Krister.
Tjorven und Stina sind jedoch der Meinung, Malin solle einen Prinzen heiraten, und planen, ihr einen solchen zu verschaffen.
Zu diesem Zweck küssen sie einen Frosch, und prompt erscheint ein gutaussehender junger Mann — der Naturforscher Peter Malm — auf der Bildfläche.
Malin verliebt sich tatsächlich in Peter und verlobt sich mit ihm. Nach dem idyllischen ersten Sommer auf Saltkrokan kommt es während der zweiten Ferien zu tragischen Ereignissen.
Der Hund Bootsmann wird verdächtigt, sowohl Schafe gerissen als auch Jocke totgebissen zu haben und soll erschossen werden.
Die Melchersons haben vor, jeden künftigen Sommer auf der Insel zu verbringen. Melcher kann sich eigentlich keinen Hauskauf leisten, erhält jedoch unerwartet ein Stipendium.
Als er das Schreinerhaus von Frau Sjöblom kaufen will, scheint ihm Karlberg, der vor Melcher bei Frau Sjöblom ist, zuvorgekommen zu sein, doch Frau Sjöblom teilt mit, sie habe das Haus bereits an einen Dritten verkauft.
Der unbekannte Dritte entpuppt sich als Pelle, der das Schreinerhaus mit einer Krone als Anzahlung gekauft hat.
