5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful Children's Story
By Kimbyy on July 13, 2003
Format: Hardcover
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsA delight for your heart!
By Anna Schroder on January 25, 2005
Format: Hardcover
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!

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful story for CHILDREN!!!
By M. McGregor on November 17, 2005
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
From E.A. 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.

5.0 out of 5 starsMiramani Still Runs Beside Me Sometimes
By Kit Coughlan on October 24, 2000
Format: Paperback
Mio and the kind lady who gives him the magical apple; his escape from his unloving home; evil Sir Kato; the blue and red cloaks; the wonderful pancakes--all of this lives for me still. Beautiful Miramani, Mio's horse, runs beside me as I drive at twilight sometimes, and I long to share all this--and the pure joy of Mio's reunion with his father, the King--with my own son. Can you hear all of us, older children but still enchanted, asking you to let the magic touch another generation of our own children? Be noble, publishers, and we will be very grateful to you.

5.0 out of 5 starsthe stuff dreams are made from
By Julia on January 17, 2006
Format: Hardcover
I am so happy to find this book in English so that I can share it to my little American friends. In Germany, where I was born in 1983, Astrid Lindgren is a 'must-have' in every children's bookshelf. I grew up with beautiful characters like Mio and Madita, Michel and Ronja. I think the other reviews speak for themselves, I just wanted to add one more thing from self experience:

I think these bed-time fitted books (chapter length chosen for a 15 to 30 min reading session) are what made me dream as fantastic as I still do.

Astrid Lindgren knew the secret of how to catch on to children's interest, and how to pack messages of value in understandable words for them...

5.0 out of 5 starsA Magnificent Children's Book
By A Customer on November 3, 1999
Format: Paperback
A wonderful story about a boy and his father and their adventures in farawayland. A bed time reading classic every child will treasure. Very hard to find, but a must for any library as children will love this book even when they grow up - I know I do. Also highly recommended by Astrid Lindgren is The Brothers Lionheart.

5.0 out of 5 starsa truly enchanting book
By saundra2311@cs.com on September 29, 1999
Format: Paperback
I also read this book as a child in the 50's. I remember taking it out of the Newark public library. This was the first story that really transported me to another place and time and I have been an avid reader ever since. I've told my children about it but could never find it. Please print it again!!

By A Customer on October 15, 1999

I grew up with Astrid Lindgren and this book has made the most impact out of all her books. I have a son now and he could learn so much from this tale of love and friendship.
