## Caption

📖 On this day in 1858, Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf was born. In 1909, she became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
 
‘The Wonderful Adventures of Nils’ is one of Lagerlöf’s most famous books. Originally written as a geography textbook, it tells the story of a young boy, Nils Holgersson, and his journey across Sweden on the back of a goose. 🪿👦

Travel the length of Sweden through these quotes from places featured in Lagerlöf’s story (from ‘The Wonderful Adventures of Nils’, translated by Velma Swanston Howard). 🇸🇪
