„O regină care scrie basme?! Atunci aceea trebuie să fie o ţară minunată!”
“A Queen that Writes Fairytales? That Must Be a Wonderful Country!”

Summary/Abstract: This interview was taken in 2012 during my time as a Ph.D. lecturer of Romanian at the University of Lund. Designated as the “Alf Lombard Year” by a cultural initiative of the Romanian Embassy in Stockholm, the year 2012 celebrated the scholarly achievements of Alf Lombard (1902-1996), professor of Romance languages in Lund between 1939 and 1969. The initiative afforded me the privilege of contacting Lombard's former assistant, Dagmar Falk (28 December 1912 - 23 March 2019). Aged 100 at the date of this interview, Dagmar was to be the most surprising and pleasant interlocutor I met while in Sweden. This dialogue is a late rendition of her memories, which I hold dear to my heart.
