– Scoutföreningen i byn hade ett utbyte med Karlstadsscouterna och jag drömde om att lära mig svenska. Därför läste jag Scandinavian Studies i London och fick bo i Sverige ett halvt år redan första läsåret. Vilken sommar! Jag la alla pengar på svenska skivor, tidningar och glass.

Stefan Ahnhem

”As a kid, I never dreamt of being a writer. Putting letters in the right order to form words did not come easily to me. In school, while the rest of my class had Swedish lessons, a strange-smelling lady would pull me out of the classroom to play with wooden blocks painted with colourful letters.

For as long as I can remember, however, I have been a passionate storyteller. Growing up as an only child undoubtedly sparked my creativity, and all the hours spent playing by myself fed my vivid imagination. My grandfather’s rocking chair was a marvellous spacecraft able to transport me to all the planets in the universe. And the world map that my teacher stubbornly refused to pull down revealed precisely where the secret treasure was buried.

Sara Paborn
