Description: Kroppefjälls sanatorium in Dals Rostock, Sweden differed from others with its system of small houses scattered in a large park. The idea was to provide a more home-like environment to promote self-healing. Most patients were young and had to leave their families and schooling when they contracted the national disease-- tuberculosis. This book portrays sanatorium life and development through the years.
