Bestselling Fall story reminiscent of the Moomins, Beatrix Potter and Cicely Mary Barker�s Flower Fairies.
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 fall comes, they collect and prepare food to see them through the long winter, until the warm spring breeze starts to blow.
A mini gift edition of Elsa Beskow's classic story.
'Sustainability at its best and an inspiration for all would-be down-shifters! Recently republished in a new smaller format.'
