Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf is best known for stories that blend realism, fairy tale and mysticism, drawing on folk tales, legends and autobiographical memories. At this reading, librarian Marianna Finnsdóttir reads aloud two of her Christmas legends.
The session on 15 December is the legend of the Christmas roses, which tells of a forest that turns into a decorated garden every Christmas night. The evening is free to attend and suits the whole family.
- Marianna Finnsdóttir also has a reading of Lagerlöf's Christmas legends coming up on 8 December at Hvidovre Hovedbibliotek, where she reads 'The Stone in the Lake', a story about compassion, mercy and hope.
