Children of the Forest | Elsa Beskow

The children of the forest live in the roots of an old pine tree. Each season brings new adventures for the children - swimming and berry picking in summer; playing with fairies and harvesting mushrooms in autumn; sledging and feeding animal friends in winter. But spring brings the best surprise of all!

This is a delightful seasonal story for young children about nature through the year from the world-renowned Swedish author / illustrator Elsa Beskow.
