How I only wish life could still be. Pelle cuts his wool from his sheep, and through several barters of chores, has a suit made for him. Innocent. I believe this the best Beskow book. Ages2-6.

I bought this for my sons 6th birthday and he has read it every day since then-that is 1 1/2 months ago. Great reading-no villains-just one hero-Pelle

Hello. I just got done reading this book. It is terrific. I found it at a flea market last weekend. It was published in 1934. Are there many of these old books left? The book I have is in great condition!

Ollie gets his first pair of skiis and uses them in the woods near his home somewhere in Scandanavia. He meets up with Jack-Frost, and some other colorful characters. The art-work is of a style and beauty long missing in childrens' books. Ms. Beskow's drawings are from an earlier period in children's literature, and are quite nostaligic for those of us raised with our grandparent's childrens' books.
