Anna Maria Lovisa Wahlenberg (23 May 1858 – 29 November 1933) was a Swedish writer and playwright.

Life

Anna Wahlenberg was born on 23 May 1858 in Stockholm. [1] For nine years, she lived on the old farm in Kungsholmen where her father had a candle factory. [2] Wahlenberg attended Pauli girls’ school and the Wallin school. [1]

In 1882, she debuted with her first collection of short stories Teckningar i sanden (Drawings in the Sand) under the pseudonym Rien (from Swedish 'nothing'). [3] In 1886, Wahlenberg wrote her second book and a first novel Små själar (Small Souls). [4] The novel deals with failings in women's education and promotes financial independence for women. [1] She wrote two more collections of short stories, Hos grannas (1887) and I hvardagslag (1889), dedicated to a young woman's fight for financial independence. [3]

In 1888, Wahlenberg married Fritz Kjerrman, editor of the newspaper Dagens Nyheter, with whom she had two sons. [3] [5]

In 1890, she deputed as a playwright with a comedy called På vakt followed by a prolific output of plays for amateurs and children as well as for professional actors that were frequently staged at the Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern (the Royal Dramatic Theatre) in Stockholm. [1]

In 1895, Wahlenberg wrote her first art fairy tale collection Bengt's tales about kings, elves, trolls and princesses. [2] She wrote over 200 fairy tales, dedicating some of them to her sons. [1] In her fairy tales, Wahlenberg combined traditional fairy tale enchantment and magic with everyday problems and events. [2] In 1899, she became the first to translate A Thousand and One Nights into Swedish. [4]

Wahlenberg lived all her life in Stockholm and moved in with her sister after her husband's death in 1896. [1]

Anna Wahlenberg died on 29 November 1933 and is buried at Norra cemetery in Solna. [1]
