The Story of the Wind Children: Mini Edition, Hardcover/Sibylle Olfers

Description 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. About the Author Sibylle von Olfers' (1881-1916) blend of natural observation and use of simple design has led to comparisons with Kate Greenaway and Elsa Beskow. Her other published works include The Story of the Root Children, The Princess in the Forest and The Story of the Snow Children.
