About the author

Born in 1858 at Mårbacka, Sweden, Selma Lagerlöf first worked as a teacher before turning to writing. Her debut novel, Gösta Berling’s Saga, established her as a distinctive new voice in Swedish literature, blending realism with legend and the supernatural.

Lagerlöf went on to write The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, a beloved children’s classic, as well as memoirs, short stories, and historical novels. In 1909, she became the first woman awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and in 1914 she became the first woman elected to the Swedish Academy. She died at Mårbacka in 1940.
