A Swedish novelist (1801-65); born in Abo, Finland. She was brought up in the neighborhood of Stockholm. She was a voluminous writer, and the income from her publications enabled her to make extensive travels over Europe and in America. Till 1839 her fame was restricted to Sweden; then it began to extend to Germany; in 1842 was published in London, in English, "The Neighbors", and forthwith in rapid succession translations appeared of "The Diary"; "The H. Family"; "The President's Family"; and several others of her charming delineations of domestic life in Sweden. She visited the United States in 1849; and in 1851 her "Homes of the New World" was published simultaneously in England, Sweden, and this country.
