Mälarens öar (The islands of lake Mälaren) describes the ancient monuments and folklore of the area in 10 plates and text. Richard Dybeck visited all the districts of Sweden to study its ancient history. He was educated in the field of law, but soon turned to his real interest - the ancient history of his home country. He published a number of pamphlets and books within this field. In Stockholm he also gained popularity as a performer of Scandinavian folklore songs. Scarce.
