description: A Home was first published in Swedish in 1899 under the title Ett Hem. It was accompanied by a text by Carl Larsson which included his ideas on decoration, and a description of his family's life. However it was a German edition, produced in 1909 and entitled Das Haus in der Sonne (The House in the Sun), which became a bestseller - 40,000 copies sold in three months. This book is a revised version of the first English edition, published by G.P. Putnam's Sons of New York in 1974 with text translated from Lennart Rudstrom's 1968 adaptation of Larsson's original words.
