Summary "Gerda in Sweden" by Etta Blaisdell McDonald is a children's adventure book written in the early 20th century. The story follows Gerda, a kind-hearted girl, and her twin brother, Birger, as they embark on a journey across Sweden, discovering the beauty of their homeland and forging new friendships along the way. Their adventure includes a trip to Lapland, where they meet a girl named Karen, who has a disability, and they explore themes of kindness, family, and the joys of childhood. The opening of the book introduces the twin siblings, Gerda and Birger Ekman, who are born in the picturesque Dalarne region of Sweden. As they grow, their family experiences joy and community, underscored by traditions and celebrations. The narrative unfolds with the twins, now seven, in Stockholm, where they prepare a surprise gift box for a less fortunate girl while anticipating their summer travels to the northern reaches of Lapland. Gerda's compassionate spirit shines as she desires to help Karen overcome her struggles with a physical disability. The introduction sets a warm and inviting tone, inviting readers to join the twins on their journey filled with adventure, friendship, and cultural discoveries in Sweden.
