Christopher is playing alone in his garden when a magical adventure begins. An unusual boy called September introduces him to the garden folk -- the boisterous gooseberry boys, kind Mrs Bramley Apple, grumpy Old Man Blackcurrant and many more -- as they search for Christopher's lost ball. In this delightful story from the world-renowned Swedish author-illustrator Elsa Beskow, young children will learn about the different flowers, berries and vegetables growing in Christopher's garden and how they get ready for autumn. This wonderful mini gift edition of Christopher's Garden reproduces Elsa Beskow's classic illustrations and beloved story in an adorable small format -- ideal for little hands -- with a quality cloth spine.
Elsa Beskow (1874-1953) is the most popular children's author-illustrator in Sweden. Often described as Sweden's Beatrix Potter, Elsa Beskow's picture books have been known and loved for over a century. Her charming stories of children and magical folk, accompanied by her signature illustrations, are known and cherished the world over. Elsa's best known books in English include Peter in Blueberry Land, The Children of the Forest and Pelle's New Suit.
