She is the foremost composer of Swedish children's songs during the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.

Oh my..I LOVE this! What a relief....and pleasant respite from daily binge-listening to the conclusion of Bruckner's 4th....trying to decipher (intellectually, if not musically) how on earth he achieves such overarching awe.....Thanks!
