About the author
Born in 1858 at Mårbacka in Värmland, Selma Lagerlöf grew up surrounded by the landscapes, legends, and local traditions that would shape her writing for the rest of her life. She trained as a teacher in Stockholm and worked at a girls’ school before her success as a writer allowed her to devote herself fully to literature.
Her breakthrough came with Gösta Berling’s Saga, a novel that stood apart from the realism of its time through its vivid imagination and strong sense of place. She went on to write many admired books, including Jerusalem and The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, bringing together folklore, moral reflection, and a warm, memorable storytelling voice.
In 1909, she became the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, and she was also the first woman elected to the Swedish Academy. Her work remains widely read not only for its historical importance, but because it still feels alive with wonder, compassion, and love of the natural world.
