Auteur van The Thrall of Leif the Lucky: A Story of Viking Days
Over de Auteur
(eng) Ottilie A. Liljencrantz was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Adelina Charlotte Hall and Gustave Adolph Mathias Liljencrantz, a civil engineer and Swedish immigrant. She dreamed of being descended from a renowned Viking, but her family history only revealed a 16th-century Swedish clergyman. While still a teenager, she wrote plays and produced them with the help of the neighborhood children. She wrote numerous Norse-themed books, including The Thrall of Leif the Lucky: A Story of Viking Days (1902), The Ward of King Canute (1903), The Vinland Champions (1904), and the collection of short stories, A Viking's Love and Other Tales of the North (published posthumously in 1911). Her novel The Thrall of Leif the Lucky was adapted for a silent film called The Viking, released in 1928. She died at age 34 in 1910 following surgery.
