About the author

Elisabeth Beskow wrote more than 50 novels and children's stories under the pseudonym Runa. During the early 1900s, she was the second most read female writer in Sweden (Selma Lagerlöf being the first). The novels are coloured by a strong religious-idealistic conception of life, and often with a clear moral and edifying structure.
