Emil och soppskålen

More about the book

Whether he’s running his little sister up a flagpole or trying to escape after getting locked in a shed, Emil’s adventures never stop. Hens, dogs, little sisters — and adults — all flee his path. But Emil doesn’t mean to be bad, it’s just that trouble — and fun — follow him wherever he goes. In Emil in the Soup Tureen we meet Emil and the inhabitants of Katthult: his God-fearing parents, his little sister Ida, the good-hearted farmhand Alfred, and the sharp-tongued housemaid Lina. Proving he’s the most mischievous boy for miles, Emil gets his head stuck in a soup tureen and hoists his little sister up a flagpole.
