Review Quotes
Praise for Elsa Beskow:
'Author/Illustrator Elsa Beskow shares her old fashion charm, simple dialogue and her distinctive artwork with very unique shadow cutouts in the adventure tale and travels of Peter and Lotta... Elsa Beskow should be added to other early nature writers/artists for children, like Beatrix Potter.' --Youth Services Book Review on Peter and Lotta's Adventure
