Rasmus and the Vagabond by Astrid Lindgren

Disclosure: I received this book for review purposes only. No other compensation was received and all opinions are my own.

I could not put down this beautiful and truly delightful tale between a little boy and an accordion playing wanderer. It left me smiling, wanting more and looking to find Pippi Longstocking, to relive her adventure, too! What a story. Although suggested for young readers, everyone from young to old would enjoy this entertaining and heartfelt delight.

About the Book:

"After running away from an orphanage, nine-year-old Rasmus finds the world a cold and unfriendly place until he befriends an extraordinary tramp called Paradise Oscar.

But when he does, will he be able to part with his new friend and life on the road?"

Rasmus and the Vagabond by Astrid Lindgren

What an adventure for such a young boy with the best ending ever. I cant wait to read it all over again, then offer it to my young daughter.
