{{tr|Velma Swanston Howard}}, 1907 and 1911
This is the entire story of Nils under the original English-language title of Book 1. It may be presented as a single continuous work (see the novel record), but may retain the original English-language structure as a novel and sequel novel (for instance, 43 chapters numbered 1 to 21 and 1 to 22).

WorldCat record OCLC 303139 notes "Abridged ed. of the English translation ...".
At 539 pages, little abridgement of Howard's version is expected, even if there are 200 large illustrations.

200 illustrations
Price from substantial review (as 541 pp.) in "Stories for Older Young Folks", NY Herald Tribune 1947-11-16 pE7 (unusually positive):
For any child who has read it, "these two hundred drawings make a new book of it."
"... At last, by self-sacrifice on behalf of a feathered friend, [Nils] becomes a boy again. All this follows from one drawing to another; the design and production of the book is a joy to eye and mind."

Cover art by interior illustrator Baumhauer may be expected but should not be taken for granted. Cover art by Alexander H. Williamson is reported for the Children's Illustrated Classics edition, as two books illus. by Baumhauer (Dent, 1950 and 1953).
