Astrīda Anna Emīlija Lindgrēna ir zviedru rakstniece.Dzimusi 1907. gada 14. novembrī Vimmerbijā, Zviedrijā. Viņa ir sarakstījusi 25 grāmatas ieskaitot grāmatu: "Emīla nedarbi". Emīla nedarbi ir ļoti interesanta grāmata. Tajā ir rakstīts par mazu zēnu, kurš dzīvo Lennebergā un pastrādā daudz un dažādus nedarbus.
Visinteresantākais brīdis grāmatā ir tad, kad zēns staigājot ar ķekatām aizķeras aiz žoga un caur stiklu iekrīt istabā. Istabā Emīls sēdās pie galda ar savu ģimeni un tad, pēkšņi viņš i...more

Readers of Ramona the Pest and similar stories should love the Emil stories. They are far different and more "real" than the Pippi Longstockings series, though by the same author. I suspect that adults and teen readers of classics will love it more than a child will do, but it might be a good read-aloud for the grade-school teacher who seeks to entertain. Emil is a brave little scamp whose pranks are as endearing to the reader as they must be maddening to his frazzled parents. One empathizes wit...more
My kids loved this book- especially my 7 year old. He doesn't tend to like books about children who set out to be mean or horrible,in fact these type of characters often upset my kids (unless they are just messy/smelly- that's ok) so Emil's brand of being 'naughty' by accident is perfect for him. Even when Emil does hoist his little sister up the flagpole he does so because she wants to look at the next town and she's very happy about this- it's his parents who aren't! It is quite archaic in par...more
Another Astrid Lindgren that I knew from TV but hadn't actually read.
It seems written for younger readers than 'Pippi' or many other of her books, as there's very little text in the book and the writing is very simple. It must be nice for a first reader - just right to give them a sense of achievement, but it only contains three of Emil's adventures.
It's charming and amusing, as is to be expected of the author, but, as there is so little text, it doesn't manage to convey all the charm and magic...more

is the drawing used for the cover of this edition. Funny adventures. It's interesting to see different reactions to Emil's escapades, and heartwarming to know that his parents, in their innocence, forgive him every time. Little sister Ida is adorable. I love the pictures, as they're so expressive & lively despite being 'simple' line drawings.
The original Swedish title, Emil i Lönneberga (Emil of Lönneberga) makes more sense. The soup tureen episode is only one chapter of the book. Some of things Emil did reminded me of my littlest sister. :) 3 1/2 stars.
one of the favorite books of mine in childhood... re-read so many time... hilarious!!!
This book has brought me great joy to my childhood!
Many happy memories reading this book with my mum!

A sweet and well written chldren's book. We have all known an Emil in our lives! This one makes a terrific read aloud book!
:`D Das ist so toll! Das werde ich selbst im hohen Alter noch lieben! ahah hahahh Michel ist einfach der Knaller. Die Geschichten sind so drollig! Und die Atmosphere erst, so ruhig und enstpannt...und dann kommt Michel und macht Unfug! xD
I checked this out from the library after I'd exhausted all the Pippi Longstocking books. I haven't seen a copy since I was really young, but I remember loving it. A kid gets a soup tureen stuck on his head (like the title suggests). So great!
This is the story about a little boy called MIchel. he was very naughty and nothing was save from him! But his mother loved him!
My first book from Astrid Lindgren. Made me think about my brother ;)
Every boy will love this book, and even girls...
