The country where time was gone

Hagerup, Klaus: Landet der tiden var borte

13 year old Lise don't want to grow up, she wants to stop time. Her best friend has just died, and Lise climbs as up into an apple tree to jump. But in the moment she lets go of the branch, a vulture picks her up and carries her away to the country where time has disappeared.
