About the author
Born in 1858 at Mårbacka in Värmland, Sweden, Selma Lagerlöf grew up surrounded by the local stories and folklore that would later shape her writing. She worked as a teacher before publishing Gösta Berling's Saga, the book that first brought her wide attention.
Her fiction stood out for its imaginative, lyrical style at a time when realism and naturalism were especially influential. In 1909 she became the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, and a few years later she also became the first woman elected to the Swedish Academy.
Lagerlöf remains one of Sweden's best-known writers. Readers still return to her work for its warmth, its memorable characters, and the way it brings myth, history, and everyday human feeling together.
