Engelsk-Svensk och Svensk-Engelsk Ordbok Med Fullständig Uttalsbeteckning
by Frederick Lönnkvist
About the author
Frederick Lönnkvist was an author active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with published works in Swedish and English. Library and catalog records link him to Ett minnesverk öfver Sverige och Amerika (1893), a large illustrated book about Sweden and the United States, as well as Engelsk-Svensk och Svensk-Engelsk Ordbok med fullständig uttalsbeteckning and several books for younger readers.
His books suggest a practical, wide-ranging approach to writing. Some were clearly aimed at Swedish-speaking readers interested in America and everyday English, while others introduced children to animals and natural history in an accessible way.
Very little biographical detail is readily confirmed from reliable online sources, so it is safest to remember him through the work itself: an author and compiler whose books seem designed to inform, guide, and open up a wider world for readers on both sides of the Atlantic.
