Seven-year-old Hedwig feels like she's the only child in the world. After all, she and her parents live in such a remote place that there's no one to even talk to. And every day is the same as the previous one - it's unbearably boring! But very soon everything will change, because Hedwig will finally go to school!
The witty and slightly mischievous series of books by the famous Swedish writer Frida Nilsson about the curious, restless, inventive girl Hedwig begins with stories about first-graders and their experiences.
The story by Swedish writer Frida Nilsson, translated by Maria Lyudkovskaya, is somewhat reminiscent of Maria Parr's famous "Waffle Heart" - in tone, mood, wonderful directness of the author's statement, instant recognition of characters, feelings and situations and the enormous talent of the text. At the center is seven-year-old (and then eight-year-old) Hedwig - a girl who lives in the wilderness and goes to first grade. And something is always happening to her.
