Swedish folk music is a genre of music based largely on folkloric collection work that began in the early 19th century in Sweden. [1] The primary instrument of Swedish folk music is the fiddle . Another common instrument, unique to Swedish traditions, is the nyckelharpa .
The ballad was first published in 1877 as a folk song of the Södermanland region (recorded in Lunda parish, Nyköping Municipality). [1] A variant from Näshulta parish, Eskilstuna Municipality, published in the same collection in 1882, had the title Skogsjungfruns frieri ("The Courting of the Wood-nymph", a skogsjungfru or skogsnufva being a female wood-nymph or fairy).
