description: After a long and eventful life Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that hes still in good health. A big celebration is in the works for his 100th birthday but Allan really isnt interested (and hed like a bit more control over his alcohol consumption) so he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey. It would be the adventure of a lifetime for anyone else but Allan has a larger-than-life backstory: he has not only witnessed some of the most important events of the 20th century but actually played a key role in them. Quirky and utterly unique The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared has charmed readers across the world.
