Review Quotes
'A beautifully illustrated book with plenty of text. Peter and Lotta prepare for Christmas in Victorian Sweden in the days before Father Christmas, when the Christmas Goat brought gifts. It's full of adventures. A great Christmas read for 4-8 year olds.'
- Hilary Woolf with Isaac, age 4, Education Otherwise
'Elsa Beskow's Peter and Lotta stories capture the imagination. The illustrations in these lovely hardback editions have something of the charm that Carl Larson's watercolours have... Children love them.'
- Martyn Rawson, Steiner Education
