Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Caspar David Friedrich, Johan Edvard Bergh and Gustaf Wilhelm Palm. A Swedish household through a year - the daughters, the suitors, the servants and the father who cannot let go. Bremer's domestic novels were read across Europe and America, and she went on to write one of the first arguments for women's rights in Swedish. This edition carries Mary Howitt's translation and sixty plates of Swedish painting, among them works by Carl Larsson, Anders Zorn and Amalia Lindegren.
