Halta-Kajsa

Kajsa (Catarina) (1792, Agunnaryd - 1857), known as Halta-Kajsa (Limp-Kajsa), was a Swedish story teller and tradition bearer. She was an important co worker and source of information of Gunnar Olof Hyltén-Cavallius in his work of collecting old Swedish fairy tales and folk songs. Kajsa was illegitimate and therefore had no last name, and is in literature known and referred to by her nickname, Halta-Kajsa.
