Table of ContentsReviewsPraise for Elsa Beskow: 'Author/Illustrator Elsa Beskow shares her old fashion charm, simple dialogue and her distinctive artwork with very unique shadow cutouts in the adventure tale and travels of Peter and Lotta... Elsa Beskow should be added to other early nature writers/artists for children, like Beatrix Potter.' --Youth Services Book Review on Peter and Lotta's Adventure '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.
