‘Children of the Forest’
By Elsa Beskow (Author)
Description:
The children of the forest live deep in the roots of an old pine tree. This book invites children to follow their engaging adventures through each season as they play hide-and-seek with the squirrels and throw snowballs in winter.
This is the mini edition of a perennial favorite!
'Sustainability at its best and an inspiration for all would-be down-shifters! Recently republished in a new smaller format.'
(Juno magazine: a natural approach to family life)
Elsa Beskow (1874-1953), born Elsa Maartman in Stockholm, was a pioneering author and illustrator of children's books in Sweden―perhaps the best known of all Swedish children's book artists. Her books were inspired by her own childhood experiences, as well as those of her six children. Central themes were the relationships between children and adults and children's independent initiative. Her books are continually reprinted, and many have become classics. She also illustrated ABC books and songbooks for Swedish schools.
