Et ekslusivt udvalg af forfatteren Selma Lagerlöfs mindre kendte tekster - fortællinger, legender, essays og taler. Teksterne, der måske har stået i skyggen af hendes store romaner, kaster nyt lys over forfatterskabet - og på Selma Lagerlöf som den engagerede person, hun var. Selma Lagerlöf kæmpede i sin tid for kvinders stemmeret. Hun var medlem af Det Svenske Akademi, fik som den første kvinde Nobelprisen i litteratur og var - blandt andre politiske mærkesager - erklæret pacifist. Tilsammen giver de udvalgte tekster et indblik i forfatterskabets forløb og udvikling.
