This short volume has turned out to be merely a handful of recollections of well-remembered times and stories - some probably misremembered, too - and a few people who have played a crucial part in my life. And some confessions: I have never before tried to write about my doll phobia, for instance, or about the effect synaesthesia has had over the years. I can only hope that this collection of stories from times past might give some idea of a mostly happy life that has gone, and is going, much too fast.

"En gång hade de på Mårbacka en barnpiga som hette Back-Kajsa. Hon var nog tre alnar lång, hon hade ett stort, grovt ansikte med stränga, mörka drag, hennes händer voro hårda och fulla av sprickor, som barnens hår fastnade i när hon kammade dem, och till humöret var hon dyster och sorgbunden. En sådan människa tycktes ju inte vara enkom skapad till barnpiga och fru Lagerlöf hade varit i stort beråd innan hon anställde henne."
