"Children of the Forest" is a classic children's book written and illustrated by Elsa Beskow. The story follows the adventures of a family of forest children as they explore and play in their magical woodland home. Elsa Beskow's enchanting illustrations bring the forest to life and captivate readers of all ages. 

The children of the forest live deep in the roots of an old pine tree. They collect wild mushrooms and blueberries and shelter under toadstools when it rains. They play with the squirrels and frogs, and when autumn comes, they collect and prepare food to see them through the long winter, until the warm spring breeze starts to blow. Embark on a journey with the magical beings as they explore the forest and discover valuable lessons about camaraderie, the environment, and the significance of kin.

This wonderful new edition of The children of the forest faithfully reproduces Beskow's classic illustrations in a collectable picture book featuring a unique hand-crafted design, premium-quality paper, gold foil signature and a luxurious cloth spine the perfect heirloom book to pass down the family.

Create an Elsa Beskow library by collecting all of the gorgeous new editions.

I bought one of each egg cup to go with the treat boards. They are so well made and go so well with the boards me and kids love them! We have gone through so many plastic and ceramic egg cups but I don't have to worry about these egg cups, built to last and withstand rough kids hands.

The items I purchased were of extremely high quality. I’ve no doubt they will become heirlooms passed down to the next generation. Thank you.
