Plot

Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature - 1909
Early twentieth century novel from the Swedish author and first woman writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

`The Treasure` aka `Herr Arne's Hoard` (1904), is a novella-length fable, or fairy-tale, by Nobel-Prize winning Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf. It is set in Bohuslaen on the West coast of Sweden in the middle of the 16th Century. The plot is at first read unusual but once you understand what Selma is up to it is pretty cool.
