Snowy roads, stubborn souls, and a few ghosts hitchhiking

This Selma Lagerlöf collection gathers tales in which forests remember, villages whisper, and travelers discover that the past is very much alive and walking beside them. Blending folktale, realism, and a touch of the uncanny, these stories wander through haunted manors, snow-bright roads, and stubborn little towns where love, guilt, faith, and fate keep changing costumes. It is a world where miracles feel almost practical, kindness can be quietly radical, and every journey risks brushing against something older and stranger than common sense.
