Tales of the Mushroom Folk

Elsa Beskow (1874-1953) is probably the most popular children’s author in Sweden, where her picture books have been known and loved for over a century.

The mushroom folk are waking up from their winter sleep and emerging into the sunshine. Each family has its own characteristics and we get to know them well in these charming little tales.

Meet the golden Coral Mushrooms, the bumpy Brain Mushrooms, the pale Parasol Mushrooms, the fat Puffballs, the stinky Stinkhorns and the regal Button Mushrooms.
