Lagerloef brings the stories of Jesus' birth and childhood truly to life in this wonderful collection of tales for children.

A curse rests on the Lowenskold family, as narrated in The Lowenskold Ring. Charlotte Lowenskold is the tale of the following generations, a story of psychological insight and social commentary, and of the complexities of a mother-son relationship.

Described as `perhaps the most private of Selma Lagerloef's books', the novel takes us deep into a father-daughter relationship that carries the seeds of tragedy within it almost from the start.

Pour avoir voulu se jouer d’un tomte, sorte de lutin du folklore suédois, le jeune Nils devient pareil à sa victime, c’est-à-dire à peine plus haut que la main. Voulant retenir son jars blanc, tenté par l’appel des oiseaux migrateurs, Nils oublie sa taille minuscule, et le voici emporté dans les airs. S’ensuivent un voyage à travers la Laponie et la Suède, en compagnie des oies sauvages, et une série d’aventures mi-merveilleuses mi-réelles. Comme toutes les grandes œuvres pour la jeunesse, ce texte, paru en 1907, est devenu un classique qui a enchanté des générations de lecteurs.

This classic Swedish novel tells the story of a stolen painting that becomes the subject of a supernatural legend. The story weaves together themes of art, faith, and redemption, and is told with Lagerlöf's trademark blend of mystery and enchantment.
