Not only is Lars Molin a brazen thief, he lives in periods as a woman with all the difficulties and opportunities that entails. At any moment he can appear! A life of criminal wandering is interspersed with steady employment as a cook and housekeeper, but also as a prostitute in early 19th-century Sweden, from the countryside to Arboga, Västerås, Örebro and Stockholm. With cunning and a measure of luck, Lasse-Maja escapes the long arm of the law time and time again during the years 1804-1812, before he finally reaches the end of the road and is sentenced to life imprisonment in Karlsten's Fortress. During his time in prison custody, this biography was recorded and was published for the first time in 1833. It subsequently became Sweden's first really big bestseller. Or as an old man who in the 30s was asked what was read when he was young put it: "What was read among the people? Well, it was mostly Lasse-Maja and the Bible".
