Selma Lagerlös

    Selma Lagerlöf's writing is characterized by its lofty idealism, vivid imagination, and spiritual perception. Drawing deeply from classic Swedish folklore, she infused her magic realist narratives with these elements. Her stories often explore themes of faith, migration, and the lives of ordinary people. Lagerlöf was also a notable figure for her engagement with women's issues and political causes.

      Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly old skinflint. He hates everyone, especially children. But at Christmas three ghosts come to visit him, scare him into mending his ways, and he finds, as he celebrates with Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and their family, that geniality brings its own reward. This finest of all Christmas stories is beautifully illustrated with Arthur Rackham’s superb line drawings.
