Children of the Forest by Elsa Beskow

The Children of the Forest make their home deep in the roots of an old pine tree. They spend their days playing hide-and-go-seek with the squirrels in the autumn, and snowballing in the winter. Each season of the year brings the root children its own adventures.

A charming nature story and one of our bestselling titles from author Elsa Beskow!
