Children of the Forest, 2nd Edition: Hardcover: Large Edition

Description This is a delightful seasonal story for young children about nature through the year from the world-renowned Swedish author–illustrator Elsa Beskow. This wonderful new, collectable picture book features a unique hand-crafted design, premium-quality paper, gold foil signature and a luxurious cloth spine. In contrast to Pelle, which introduces children to a practical Earth, Children of the Forest affirms the life children experience (and adults usually miss) within the stillness of the forest floor. Here are the little people who wear acorn caps and spin yarn from cotton grass. Their adventures range from meetings with animals both friendly and fierce to encounters with fairies to a romp in the new winter’s snow. A truly great story!
