Publisher's Synopsis

Fireside Sketches From Swedish Life is a collection of short stories written by Sarah Woods Baker in 1896. The book is set in Sweden and portrays the everyday lives of Swedish people in the late 19th century. The stories are centered around themes of family, love, and community, and are written in a simple yet engaging style that captures the essence of Swedish culture. The book includes tales of a young girl's first love, a mother's sacrifice for her children, and a family's struggle to survive in a harsh winter. The stories are accompanied by illustrations that add to the charm of the book. Fireside Sketches From Swedish Life provides a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people in Sweden during a time of great change and is a delightful read for anyone interested in Swedish culture and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
