Selma Lagerlöf (1858–1940) was truly a master of thought, an example for many, one of the most widely read writers in the world and a recognized international literary authority of her time. In 1907 she received an honorary doctorate from Uppsala University, and in 1914 she was elected to the Swedish Academy of Sciences, an honor that had never been given to women before. And she was also the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature “for noble idealism and richness of imagination” in 1909. “Notes of a Child” (1930) and “The Diary of Selma Ottilie Lovisa Lagerlöf” (1932) are a continuation of the memories of childhood begun by the story “ Morbacca" (1922). All her life, the family estate was Selma Lagerlöf’s favorite place on earth. No matter where she ended up, Selma always remained a girl from Morbakka, where her moral strength, self-confidence and inspiration came from. In her memories of her childhood in her father’s house and her first separation from him, the hand of the author of “Nils’s Wonderful Journey with the Wild Geese”, “The Saga of Josta Berling” and the Löwenskiöld trilogy is unmistakably felt. This is the story of the birth of a great writer, wise and subtle, filled with humor and love for the world.
