Description:
In the land of the midnight sun
A journey in Sweden
‘Home of clear streams, where wild swans sing in the northern lights!’ H. C. Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen was one of the great travellers of his time and travelled to Sweden six times alone. His poetic gaze reveals the unspoilt beauty of nature and captures flashes of everyday life. Andersen takes us from Lake Vänern through the Göta Canal, the archipelago and blossoming forests, to Stockholm, Uppsala, the mining town of Falun and the wide banks of the Dalälven. He meets beggar boys, farmers and priests, marvelling at Swedish history, science and the latest technology. And he encounters fairy tales everywhere: The weathered rocks harbour legends of strong Vikings, fairies turn into swans to bathe in the quiet lakes of the north, and the portraits of people become reflections on life and death.
