Who should he meet but King Winter himself who takes him to his palace. This is an adventure Ollie is not likely to forget soon - neither are you!

Children of the Forest

Else Beskow

Hardbound

$17.95

In contrast to Pelle, which introduces children to a practical Earth, Children of the Forest affirms the life children experience (and adults usually miss) within the stillness of the forest floor.
