Produktbeschreibung

A little girl receives an unexpected Christmas present; creatures of the forest gather to celebrate the New Year in the glow of a wood nymph's torch; an evil noblewoman schemes against her beautiful niece; and a cantankerous gravedigger dines with a skull on Christmas Eve.

In this selection of her most beloved winter stories, Selma Lagerlöf weaves together magic and miracles, Swedish folklore and Biblical fables, darkness and light with heartfelt joy and boundless imagination. Newly translated into English for the first time, these stories comprise the ultimate festive anthology from one of the most important woman writers of the twentieth century.
