Book Description

Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 13: January, 1909 Vermland, one of the most beautiful provinces of Sweden, is situated in the western part of this country and north of the great lake V'ainern. It is famed for it vast forests, metallic mountains, clear lakes and rushing rivers. The Vermlanians are a richly gifted people with a great capacity for work, and a bright temperament. Many of the most eminent men and women of Sweden have originated from the province; to name but one example: the world renowned John Ericsson. No other Swedish province can boast of so many distinguished authors as can Vermland. Even in our day great names can be mentioned, and first among them the author, Selma Lagerlof.
