(Junio 4, 1882 – Noviembre 20, 1918)
Fue un ilustrador sueco mayormente reconocido por su trabajo en cuentos de su país de origen como Our Fathers’ Godsaga, Sagovarld (Historias de Hadas y folclore sueco) y Bland Tomtar och Troll (Entre los duendes y los trolls). Aquí una muestra de su trabajo:
Odin and Slipnir
Freja and Svipdag
Svipdag (transformed) with Freja
If only the people hadn’t had dogs it might still have been bearable
Troll Mother decided that here was just the wife for her son
«Thank you for the beautiful pear», she said
«You villain, you rogue!» cried old Lady Skinflint
At that moment the frog became a beautiful fairy girl
Klampe-Lampe had dug himself a large hole under seven immense spruce trees
Messengers from the troll people had come to consult the witch
He blew a tune on the birchbark horn
Suddenly, he saw an strange-looking woman crawling along
Dragon
You Mean this Magic Herb
The golden Key
She gave the Eagle her petticoat
He found her hiding in a tree
