About the Collection

Jonas Jonasson is known for comic novels featuring unconventional characters whose lives develop in increasingly unexpected directions. His official bibliography includes these four titles among his novels.

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared introduces Allan Karlsson, who escapes his retirement home on his 100th birthday and embarks on an extraordinary journey. Along the way, his past and a succession of unlikely historical encounters become part of the story.

The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man brings Allan and his companion Julius back for another improbable adventure. A hot-air-balloon trip leads to a series of events involving international diplomacy and a suitcase containing contraband uranium. It is the sequel to Jonasson's debut novel.

The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden follows Nombeko Mayeki, a young woman from Soweto whose remarkable intelligence and an extraordinary chain of circumstances eventually place her at the centre of an international crisis involving the Swedish monarchy.

Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All centres on Per Persson, a hotel receptionist who becomes involved with a professional hitman and an unusual scheme that changes the course of their lives.

Why This Set Works

This collection brings together four distinctive comic novels featuring eccentric characters • improbable adventures • satire • friendship • unexpected situations • social observation • unconventional storytelling.

The books are primarily standalone novels, although The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man directly continues Allan Karlsson's story from The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.

Customer photo review of Stormlight Archives HC Box Set 1-4: The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Oathbringer, Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive)

I’m so unbelievably stoked and happy about both sets the Mistborn and the Storm Light archives hardback books that I got from the reading spa. I just randomly fell across the reading spa in searching for these quality of books and the reading spa has far surpassed my expectations. I am really excited to continue to fill my library with hardcover books from the reading spa for years to come. Great prices, the books are an amazing shape and a brand new and they shipped them to you quickly. Thank you again for being a place I can count on for good quality, hardcover books.!

Wicked Years Series 4 Books Collection Set: Wicked, Son of a Witch, A Lion Among Men & Out of Oz - Gregory Maguire

Store owner replied: Hi Toni! We aim to find special collections! So glad you found us. These are published by a friend who owns a large company abroad! His books are lovely:-) They also have a paperback version I believe... So happy you are happy!

My experience with The Reading Spa was nothing but pleasurable. I ordered the Avatar book set as a gift for my partners birthday. I sent en email to check on shipping and arrival time to see if they could send it out before his birthday. They got back to me right away, said they would send it out as soon as they could, and were very friendly to converse with. There was one book missing that they addressed in our email exchange that hadn’t arrived for them yet. They took the time to send what was there so I could present the gift, and as soon as the other book arrived for them they sent it out immediately. I was able to present my gift on time, and my partner was so thrilled with it all thanks to them. I couldn’t recommend this place more!
