When I was a kid I would spend hours after school drifting through the rooms of my Mother's toy store. It was a magical place, filled with toys and tools similar to the collection of goods we have put together here at Imagine Childhood. I remember a room, just to the right of the entrance, filled with dolls and handmade pillows, and the most beautiful rocking horse I had ever seen. Tucked on a small book shelf near the back of the room were these wonderful books. Ever so carefully I would pull one out at a time. With even more care I would open each book, turning the pages softly, so I would not crease them. The size of these books just made them so accessible. I didn't struggle to balance them on my lap, or fear of dropping them because I banged a corner into a wall while running to make my Papa read them to me. They were perfect, like Goldilocks in the Three Little Bears, these books were just right.
They were a perfect introduction to the beautifully enchanted world of Elsa Beskow. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
