About the Author
Selma Ottilia Lovisa Lagerlof (1858-1940) was born in Marbacka, in the province of Varmland in southern Sweden. Lagerlof's work is deeply rooted in Nordic legends and history. She rejected the dominating realistic movement and wrote her novels in a romantic and imaginative style about the peasant life and landscape of Northern Sweden. She wrote several books for children, the most popular of which is "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils." In 1909, she became the first woman writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, and, in 1914, she was appointed a member of the Swedish Academy.
