This excellent book is a gathering of a life practice of smashing aged and new traditions of a people in Sweden. The author dedicated her life to a instruction of Svenska (the Language) and a bland happenings in Sweden. Though is was created several years ago, it is undying and always in fashion. The book is divided into many chapters that are easy to examination in that misconceptions and maps as good as traditions and festivities are all introduced to a reader. Ms. Lorenzen was my dear clergyman in Minnesota, where she taught during a University and a American-Swedish Institute for many years.

I purchased this book as a present for my father so we could learn some-more about a son-in-law's homeland. It is all we hoped for. It is easy to examination and really informative. It would be of seductiveness to people of Swedish descent, their relatives, and anyone meditative or formulation a outing to Scandinavia.
