Nine-year-old Karl Anders Nilsson is the unwelcome foster child of an uncaring couple. Lonely and neglected, he yearns for simple things, things that many children already have: a warm, loving home of his own, someone to share his sorrows and joys with, and, most important, his real father.  Then, on October 15th, Karl Anders Nilsson simply disappears. Where has he gone? (Police are searching for him!) But Karl is far away from chilly Stockholm, in Farawayland, where he has found his father, who is none other than the King of that land. And now Karl faces a truly dangerous mission. Prophecies have foretold his coming for thousands of years. He, his new best friend Pompoo, and Miramis, his wonderful flying horse with a golden mane, must travel together into the darkness of Outer Land to do battle with Sir Kato, the cruel abductor of the children of Farawayland. Only a child of the royal blood can stop him....

Mio, My Son (New York Review Children's Collection), by Astrid Lindgren

From School Library Journal Gr 3–7—Pippi Longstocking fans will find much to enjoy in these new editions of Lindgren's classic works about characters just as unforgettable as her rambunctious redhead. In Mio, My Son, a young boy is reunited with his long-lost father, whom he discovers is the King of Farawayland. As the hero learns the ins and outs of his fantastical new home and receives the love of a father he has never known, He also discovers that he's at the center of a foreboding prophecy. Filled with flying horses, an evil villain, and new friendships, this warm tale will resonate with young fantasy fans. Seacrow Island features the adventures of the four Melkerson siblings and their widowed father, who move to a small island in the sparkling Baltic Sea. Reminiscent of Madeleine L'Engle's "Austin" books and works by Louisa May Alcott, L.M. Montgomery, and Jeanne Birdsall, this summery title is steeped in the familiarity and quaintness of island life. With a cast of charming characters and a string of beachside high jinks, this lovely work will enchant readers so much they'll be smelling sea salt in the air for days after closing the last page.—Shelley Diaz, School Library Journal

Review “A tale of exquisite and rare beauty.” —Saturday Review   “Beautifully written...with sensitive illustrations, Mio, My Son is a splendid contribution to the fairy-tale shelf.” —Chicago Sunday Tribune“A charming fairy story that should complement young feelings of love and adventure.” —Kirkus Reviews

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.

By Anna Schroder Mio My Son, or Mio Min Mio as I like to call it, is one of the most beautiful books Astrid Lindgren has written. Although this new edition is somewhat confusing to me how they have changed the name of the main character from one Swedish name into another. The original name of Mio is Bo Willhelm Olsson and yet here they chose to name him Karl Anders Nilsson. And his aunt's name is really Edla - not Hulda, and his uncle's name is Sixten - not Olaf. Regardless it's one of the greatest stories ever told, a story filled with love, friendship, loyalty and bravery!

Solinas' review: "It's never really dark or genuinely thrilling..."Absolutely no offense intended, but try saying that if you're an 8-year-old girl who loves horses and fairy tales! This book has haunted me for years. I checked it out time and time again from my school library, and tried to find it as an adult, but I couldn't remember the title, the main character's name OR the author. All I remembered was ..."a horse called Miramis"... but that was somehow enough to track it down on a lost books site.I remember the story as being mystical and full of entrancing descriptions. The story of a journey to destiny is timeless, and really captured me back then. I'm just thrilled to have found it again, and can't wait to get another copy.
