Abstract	"The Wonderful Adventures of Nils" (1906-1907) by Selma Lagerlof and "Scouting for Boys" (1908) by Robert Baden-Powell are characteristic of their time and their respective national and cultural contexts--the Swedish nation state of the early twentieth century and the British Empire. Taking its cue from recent theories on citizenship and education, the article discusses ways in which these two classic children's books relate to citizenship, nation and education. Ultimately, both books point to ways in which education--in and out of school--can be used to promote individual growth and a peaceful and durable society for world citizens. (As Provided).
