THE SPETTECAKE HOLIDAY

by Edith Unnerstad ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 7, 1958

Pelle Goran, nearly six, has turned from a very good little Swedish boy into a very naughty one, as a result of his mother's long stay as a patient in a hospital. Disturbed and lonely, his father decides that he will be happier visiting with his grandmother on her country farm. Here, nurtured by the wise love of his grandmother and the companionship of the children whom he meets, and diverted from his own loneliness by the many country adventures he experiences, Pelle's equilibrium happily returns. A fresh and vigorous portrait of Swedish country life, full of good smells and sounds, and washed through with bright understanding.
