From a Swedish Homestead

Ancient legends. Quiet farms. The soul of Sweden.

In From a Swedish Homestead, Selma Lagerlöf weaves together a luminous collection of stories rooted in the Swedish countryside, where folklore and everyday life intertwine. From a grand manor haunted by its past to humble farms where miracles unfold in the most unexpected ways, Lagerlöf brings to life the traditions, superstitions, and deep human emotions of rural Sweden. With her signature blend of warmth, mysticism, and profound insight into the human heart, she reveals how the ordinary and the extraordinary are never far apart, and how the land itself holds the memory of those who have lived upon it.
