Another Lagerlof's book
It's funny to think that Lagerlof's books are rarer and rarer everyday. She was one of Nobel winner, actually the first woman Nobel winner. And her books are awesome. This particular books are not her best, but still, you are trapped inside it. It contains a lot of short stories, most of them came from Sweden, particularly Varmland where she had lived almost all her life.

I think she was quite religious, looking from her books. Two of the stories presented in this book is about the saints' lifes and how they helped people. There is also a fine story about wooden box. A queen had been so sad with the poverty of her people. When she was given a chance to talk in front of them, she told them that she would give them a treasure box. This box could be opened anytime they need some money. The condition were that they have to be so desperately unable to do anytmore and they have to ask the agreement of their fellow citizen to open the box. After the announcement, the poor people were so happy. They started to build their village to a city, and the mystery was... what was inside the treasure box since it was guarded in the parsonage and no one except the pastors had seen it. Were there jewels? Was the box made of gold?

There are many moral ideas in this book, and in any of Lagerlof's books. But she presented it beautifully, you cannot actually realize it. Many would say that this is children book, but I say that this is an adult book because children are too small to understand the ideas behind those beautiful stories. ... Read more

Product Description
Readers of Miss Lagerlof will observe that in this, her latest book, _The Girl from the Marsh Croft,_ the Swedish author has abandoned her former world of Romanticism and has entered the field of Naturalism and Realism. This writer's romantic style is most marked, perhaps, in her first successful work, _Gosta Berling._ How _The Story of Gösta Berling_ grew, and the years required to perfect it, is told in the author's unique literary autobiography, _The Story of a Story,_ which is embodied in the present volume. In _The Girl from the Marsh Croft,_ Miss Lagerlöf has courageously chosen a girl who had gone astray as the heroine of her love story, making her innate honesty and goodness the redemptive qualities which win for her the love of an honest man and the respect and esteem of all. ...
