Jag kan liksom höra min mamma läsa upp den här sagan för mig när jag var liten, tyckte så mycket om den!

Samainen tunnelma jatkuu tässä kirjassa. Huumoria löytyy hieman enemmän, sillä Märssy-Mikko taitaa liioitella aikalailla tarinaansa merimiehenä olosta. Harmiton, hyvänmielen kirja. Varsin kauniita aukeamia ja yksityiskohtaista kuvitusta.

Som vuxen ser man mer. Tror inte jag gillade den som barn. Fina akvarellbilder.

I was surprised to find this on the shelf, as Stina was a favorite of mine as a little kid and I'd never heard of a sequel.

It was a disappointment however - cute drawings, of course, but an odd, boring plot. Maybe I'm remembering my older childhood days, but I do recall preferring longer, more detail-rich stories. Not these sort of three-paragraph anecdotes.

Zeer Zweeds aandoend prentenboekje over kleine Stina die met opa op bezoek gaat bij zijn vriend, de 'Lügenkapitän'. Deze heet eigenlijk Axel, maar is waarschijnlijk een onvermoed familielid van Käpt'n Blaubär.

Mooie illustraties en een geweldig knuffelnijlpaard. :-)

Generally the book depicts senility and innocence. Cute but not as fun as I had expected. Three stars is actually for the illustration.

[Marmot · Rating 2 out of 5]

Cute illustrations, but somewhat of a random, pointless story. I liked the first Stina book much more.
