Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a Child Development Teacher and in the past 6 years have worked with children ages 0 - 17 years. I am a very big fan of childrens literature and have read most of the popular stories including the Harry Potter series, Holes (before there was ever a movie) and such. When I was raving about Harry Potter my boyfriend insisted that the best children's fantasy book ever is Mio, My Son. He is Swedish and has only been in the U.S. for the past 7 years. I looked high and low for this book two years ago and finally had it transfered to my local library so I could read it.
It is amazing. I really did love the story with the fantasy and the father / son connection. We are expecting our first baby this fall and I am so happy to see that this book is in reprint. I will definitely be purchasing a copy to put aside for our little one to read when he/she is older.

With help from a genie, young Karl Anders Nilsson travels by day and by night, beyond the stars, to reach Farawayland. There, his father the King, who has been searching for him for nine long years, tells him that his true name is Mio, and lavishes upon him the loving attention he never received from his foster parents back in Stockholm.But the wonderful reunion with his father the King is interrupted when Mio learns of a prophecy that has been foretold for thousands and thousands of years. With his best friend, Pompoo, and his horse with the golden mane, Miramis, he must travel into the darkness of Outer Land to battle the cruel Sir Kato. First published in Swedish in 1954, Mio, My Son has become a children's classic worldwide.
