Reviews

'We savoured each story, spreading them over four nights, one for every night. In true Elsa Beskow style, they did not disappoint... This beautiful edition would make a wonderful gift for any child or adult. Ours has taken its place in our library of books and will be read over and over again. Just like all the other Elsa Beskow stories, they'll mesh into my memories of my children's childhood, in the way that treasured books have a way of doing.'
