Cloudless childhood and youth of Ebba Tove Alsa Nilsson

This girl was the second child in the family of billionaire Nilsson and psychologist Gunilla. They simply called her - Ebba Tove Alsa Nilsson. Years will pass, and her voice will be recognized all over the world.
Her childhood was joyful and cloudless. It took place (to the north of the capital) in the rich district of Djursholm, which belongs to the municipality of Danderyd.
