The Story of the Wind Children

One of the wind children takes George on a blustery adventure in this autumnal story with art nouveau illustrations. A collectable new edition of the classic picture book with a cloth spine. From the creator of The Story of the Root Children.

''Sibylle von Olfers'' highly adept naturalist style places her work firmly in the vein of Beatrix Potter, Kate Greenaway and Elsa Beskow. Autumn and nature are brilliantly personified in this beautifully detailed work.''
-- Achuka magazine

''In each of her seasonal books, von Olfers'' illustrations are painted in tones which perfectly match the mood of the time of year, and her cherubic nature children speak of a timeless innocence. A joy for children and an inspiration for adults.''
-- Juno magazine

George is playing with his boats, but there''s no wind to make them sail. Then one of the wind children comes and blows especially for him – and together they embark on a great adventure.

The wind child blows dandelions in the meadows, shakes apples from the tree and blows the leaves around and eventually she blows George home on a cloud.

From the author of The Story of the Root Children and The Story of the Snow Children, this is another classic children''s story with beautiful art-nouveau illustrations that cultivate a feeling of magic and nostalgia.
