This is great! Do you know what book the Swedish text is from? Must be over a hundred years old, we had a spelling reform in 1906, and this has the old spelling.

How interesting! It is from Ur Minetts Bok - a little paperback book found at an estate sale several years ago. The only date in it is the "Forord" dated 1915.

That sounds like an autobiography - "from the 'memory book'". (Förord is foreword, logically enough.) Makes sense that there were people and/or publishers that conservatively still used the old spelling a couple years after the reform as well. Wonder how the book ended up there!
