[The] Swede was written with the intent of introducing Sweden and Swedes to English speakers. It's personal and informal, and is inspired by the author's perspective of a country he loves dearly. Smörgåsbord, ombudsman and of course fika are words that were eventually adopted into English; and [The] Swede will introduce you to the rest--from allemansrätt to housewives, hugging, humor and husesyn--what does it mean to be un-Swedish? What about Swedish sin, is it a real thing? Are Swedes boring? Are they serious? Does a person bring bananas to a dinner party? Over 250 brief chapters, usefully organized like a dictionary, will make you a better Swede or at least better understand your Swedish friends, family or colleagues. Richly illustrated with humorous or explanatory drawings.

Amnéus, Christer: - Former English and German teacher at the Swedish upper secondary school Christer Amnéus has published numerous books for educational use throughout his more than 40 years in the classroom. Added to that, also some 40 manuscripts for the Swedish Educational Radio. Another important part of his career has been scripts for cabarets, a number of acts for entertainment use and lyrics for light pop music.

Martensson, Ulf Barslund: - "Editor and publisher of Nordstjernan, America's oldest continuously published ethnic publication. Founded in New York City in 1872 and praised for its reporting, content creation and ability to adapt - always staying true to its historic values yet always contemporary."
