The Nobel Prize in Literature citation reads: Half a century ago, as a child in the forest, I read the story of Nils and felt two prophecies: one was that I would soon be able to understand the language of birds, and the other was that I would also join my dear wild goose and fly into the distant and enchanting Scandinavian Peninsula. Nils Holgersson's Journey by Yasunari Kawabata is the first and the only fairy tale in the history of world literature to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
