In this second part of her notionally autobiographical trilogy, Selma Lagerlf broadens the perspective from the farm where she grew up to include the people and places around Lake Fryken in her beloved Vrmland county. The personal creation myth which she began in Mrbacka continues here with a focus on the selfdiscipline and imagination needed to fulfil a childhood ambition to become an author. It is hard work that sometimes means taking a stand against convention but also a deeply enriching process in a home steeped in storytelling and books. The mature author reveals the roots of the young bibliophiles growing skill in deploying fiction to manipulate and embellish reality, producing a wryly charming, tongueincheek account that we should beware of taking at face value.
