'Written in 1912, Selma Lagerlof's The Phantom Carriage is a
powerful combination of ghost story and social realism, partly
played out among the slums and partly in the transitional sphere
between life and death. The vengeful and alcoholic David Holm is
led to atonement and salvation by the love of a dying Salvation
Army slum sister under the guidance of the driver of the death-cart
that gathers in the souls of the dying poor. Inspired by Charles
Dickens' Christmas Carol, The Phantom Carriage remained one of
Lagerlof's own favourites, and Victor Sjostrom's 1921 film version
of the story is one of the greatest achievements of the Swedish
silent cinema.'
