The Gnomes' Winter Journey by Ernst Kreidolf / ISBN 9781782508182 / 32-page hardcover from Floris Books (UK)

***

An enchanting winter tale with vintage illustrations reminiscent of Elsa Beskow and Sibylle von Olfers.

Three forest gnomes journey to visit their mountain cousins, helped by dancing snow fairies and a sledge pulled by friendly squirrels. When they finally arrive there's much fun to be had – snowball fights, tobogganing and a delicious feast with the elegant Winter Queen.

First published in 1924, this is a gorgeous new edition of a classic winter story from a renowned Swiss artist.
