Created for children and adults, it gives you the chance to add your own colour to Beskow’s flower folk, adventurous children, woodland characters and nostalgic Swedish landscapes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe illustrations come from some of Elsa Beskow’s best-known stories, including Around the Year, Peter in Blueberry Land, Emily and Daisy, The Flowers’ Festival, Christopher’s Garden and Pelle’s New Suit. If you already know the books, there is something lovely about recognising familiar scenes and then spending much longer looking at all the little details as you colour them yourself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElsa Beskow was both the writer and illustrator of her stories, and that is such an important part of what makes her work feel so complete. Children, flowers, trees, seasons and imaginative little folk all belong to the same world. Her illustrations are full of botanical detail and decorative borders, often influenced by the Art Nouveau style of her time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can follow the colours of the original illustrations or make them completely your own. The mixture of detailed scenes, hand-designed patterns and quotations makes this much more than a standard children’s colouring book, and Floris Books has created it for a wonderfully broad age range, from children of around 6 right through to adults.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt would make a gorgeous gift for an Elsa Beskow collector, but it is also a lovely introduction for somebody discovering her work for the first time.
