About the author
Born at Mårbacka in Värmland, Sweden, in 1858, Selma Lagerlöf grew up surrounded by family stories, local legends, and country life that later shaped her fiction. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked as a teacher, and her breakthrough came with Gösta Berling’s Saga, a novel that helped make her one of Sweden’s best-known literary voices.
Her writing is remembered for its warmth, imagination, and easy movement between everyday life and the magical or legendary. She reached a wide audience with works including Jerusalem and The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, and in 1909 she became the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Lagerlöf was also elected to the Swedish Academy, another first for a woman. She died in 1940 at Mårbacka, the home that remained deeply connected to both her life and her work.
