Max Ström 2010. Bound with dust jacket, 144 pp.
Who are the Swedes? What are their secrets? This book walks you through
12 months of little known facts and fun anecdotes about the land of the
Midnight Sun where you can read a newspaper outdoors in the middle of
the night and people dine on rotten fish! Swedens transformation from
agrarian poverty to wealthy and bubbling creativity has produced a
people trapped happily between tradition and progress. Add a growing
immigrant population and the mix becomes exotic and amusing. Kim
Loughran sketches a year any year in an odd country where four seasons
regularly occur in the same month. With delightful images from all over
Sweden, this book will leave you with an inviting impression of one of
Europes most stunningly beautiful countries.
