Wilhelm Moberg
If you haven't read the books by Wilhelm Moberg yet, do it!
His story is about a family who moves from Sweden to America during the 17th hundred, how they try to survive and settle down in Minnesota. Wilhelm Moberg’s books give you a part of Swedish History during the time when so many Swedes and other Europeans had to give up everything they had and leave their homes because of famine.
Many of them came to America after traveling for weeks and months onboard a ship.
Wilhelm Moberg did a lot of research and interviewed many Swedish Americans before he wrote his books. There are four books in his series, but they can be read separate as well.
“The Emigrants” by Wilhelm Moberg,
“Unto a Good Land” by Wilhelm Moberg,
“The Settlers” by Wilhelm Moberg,
“The Last Letter Home” by Wilhelm Moberg,
Carl & Karin Larsson
Carl Larsson is one of my favorite painters. If you like his paintings and get the opportunity to visit Sweden, don’t miss visiting his home in Sundborn, Dalarna! This is the place where he created so many of his masterpieces and you can still see his home the way he painted it.
Karin Larsson, Carl’s wife was also an artist but she gave up her career when she married Carl Larsson. While raising the family’s children she designed and made beautiful textile projects. In their home in Sundborn you can still see the beautiful things Karin wove and embroidered. She also designed furniture for their home. Many of the things she created have influenced today’s furniture!
If you can’t visit Sweden right now, get one of our books about Carl Larsson and his wife! If you like Carl Larsson’s paintings, don’t miss the opportunity to get his portfolio with 14 reproductions of Carl Larsson’s most famous paintings!
Decorate your own home with Carl Larsson’s paintings or give them as gifts to friends and family!
