Una historia extremadamente audaz e ingeniosa que sorprenderá constantemente al lector.Jonas Jonasson nos regala un personaje maravilloso. Un abuelo sin prejuicios que no está dispuesto a renunciar al placer de vivir.
Momentos antes de que empiece la pomposa celebración de su centésimo cumpleaños, Allan Karlsson decide que nada de eso va con él. Vestido con su mejor traje y unas pantuflas, se encarama a una ventana y se fuga de la residencia donde vive, dejando plantados al alcalde y a la prensa local. Sin saber adónde ir, se encamina a la estación de autobuses, el único sitio donde es posible pasar desapercibido. Allí, mientras espera la llegada del primer autocar que se presente, un joven le pide que vigile su maleta, con la mala fortuna de que el bus llega antes de que el joven regrese y Allan, sin pensarlo dos veces, se sube con la maleta, ignorante de que en su interior se apilan, ¡santo cielo!, millones de coronas en efectivo. Pero Allan no es una persona fácil de amilanar. A lo largo de su centenaria vida ha tenido un montón de experiencias de lo más singulares: desde inverosímiles encuentros con personajes como Franco, Stalin y Churchill, hasta amistades comprometedoras como la esposa de Mao, pasando por actividades de alto riesgo como ser agente de la CIA o ayudar a Oppenheimer a crear la bomba atómica. Sin embargo, esta vez, en su enésima aventura, cuando creía que con su jubilación había llegado la tranquilidad, está a punto de poner todo el país patas arriba. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A larger-than-life old man with a fondness for vodka goes on an unexpected adventure in this whimsical novel -- perfect for fans of Forrest Gump and A Man Called Ove.
The international publishing sensation -- more than six million copies sold worldwide! A reluctant centenarian much like Forrest Gump (if Gump were an explosives expert) decides it's not too late to start over... 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 he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some unpleasant criminals, a friendly hot-dog stand operator, and an elephant (not to mention a death by elephant). It would be the adventure of a lifetime for anyone else, but Allan has a larger-than-life backstory: Not only has he witnessed some of the most important events of the twentieth century, but he has actually played a key role in them. Starting out in munitions as a boy, he somehow finds himself involved in many of the key explosions of the twentieth century and travels the world, sharing meals and more with everyone from Stalin, Churchill, and Truman to Mao, Franco, and de Gaulle. Quirky and utterly unique, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared has charmed readers across the world.

Love these
Size: 18-24 Months Infant, Color: Grey
These are awesome! My 15-month old wore these everywhere on our trip to Mexico. He scuffed them up quite a bit, but other than cosmetics, they're holding strong through sand, sprinklers, and general gallivanting around. They are super easy to get on, which also makes them easy for him to pull off. But as long as he's busy running a muck, he forgets they're even on his feet.

Sizing is off, send me free pair!
Size: 3-4 Years Toddler, Color: Navy, Size: 3-4 Years Toddler, Color: Navy
Sizing is off. I’m very frustrated. I ordered it to Costa Rica thru shipping company in Miami, which takes about 3 weeks to deliver and + shipping fee that they apply (20$)
I spent time and checked the size guide. According to the size guide, I ordered “3-4 years old” which supposed to be 16cm from heel to toe) the pair I ordered ended up being 17cm!
My baby’s feet are 15cm, I was planning to get 16cm for him to grow into it, but 17cm is too big. The shoes it self looks good, the leather is very soft and nice. I’m not sure how durable they are. Ordering first time from this brand. I ordered 2 pairs of shoes from a similar brand and liked it. They just didn’t have the size I needed. Although, the leather the previous brand uses for shoes seems much thicker. Again, I don’t know how durable “Dooty Fish” but I like how soft on skin they are.

Wide and flexible
Size: 18-24 Months Toddler, Color: White
Very cute I love the width and flexibility of the shoe 18 to 24 month is a bit too big for my 18 month old and she generally wears a size 6 1/2 shoe. I’m going to try the smaller size.

Don’t buy
Size: 12-18 Months Infant, Color: Navy
Cute little shoes but I would not recommend people buy these. The elastic broke on both shoes within a month. And they cannot get even a tiny bit of water on them. (Which is impossible with a toddler) If they do get wet the bottoms become dangerously slick. I wanted to get nice little barefoot shoes that I could use as hand-me-downs for future kiddos but these were not it. Horrible quality and not worth the money.

Quality control?
Size: 6-12 Months Infant, Color: Navy, Size: 6-12 Months Infant, Color: Navy
These were true to color (in blue) and are a cute design, however we received a pair that was oddly mismatched size-wise. They were both 6-12mo, however one moccasin was visibly larger and wider than the other. They were both too big for my 7mo old, but even when he'd grow into one the other would be much too large so we returned. Too bad because these would have been perfect if the quality control was there.
