Editorial Reviews

Review

'What a wonderful collection of books, all in mini sizes but still beautifully designed and detailed... The stories are wonderful evocations of a more innocent childhood, but it is the illustrations that give it the wow factor. I can imagine children spending a great deal of time simply admiring the pictures. The are from another time and place, in a good way.' – EYE (Early Years Educator)

No more canvas binding sadly...
The stories and illustrations are precious but sadly the spine binding were not canvas on mine! That’s one of the things I love the most about her books... not sure if that’s how they reprint all of them now or what... anyone else experience this?

We like these mini editions of Elsa Beskow’s books so much that we bought our favorites in the larger versions. The drawings are lovely, and the story lines are sweet. My personal favorite is “Pelle’s New Suit”.

I bought it as a gift for my granddaughter’s 3rd birthday. I love the stories and pictures. I DO wish that the PRINT were larger and easier for someone like me (nearly 72) to read it to her.

The stories themselves are very good, but the books could be larger. Also, the case contains two carton spacers (because the books are of different sizes), which overall looks not so nice
