About this listen

 From a Swedish Homestead by the acclaimed Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf, translated by Jessie Brochner, is a captivating collection of tales that transport you to the heart of Sweden, particularly Dalarne and Vaermland. Within its pages, youll find enchanting stories and legends that span from the west coast’s Kungahalla to distant Italy and Belgium, all set against the backdrop of the transition from Heathendom to early Christianity. The first nine sections, entitled “The Story of a Country House,” comprise a short novel originally published separately. This poignant narrative follows a young orphan girl named Ingrid, who becomes the unlikely savior of Gunnar Hede, a troubled student grappling with memory loss and fear after a harrowing experience. As he wanders the roads as a pedlar, haunted by his past and afraid of the world around him, Ingrids gentle spirit shines through, weaving a tale that is both heartwarming and thought-provoking.
