Selma Lagerlöf

Step into the snow-dusted, legend-haunted landscape of Värmland, Sweden, in the 1820s, where the disgraced priest Gösta Berling, a man of magnetic charm and poetic soul, finds himself adrift after a fall from grace. Rescued by the formidable Major’s wife, he joins a motley crew of pensioners – an eccentric, romantic band of misfits – at Ekeby estate.
