In this classic of children's literature, a child takes an idyllic journey of discovery through the natural world. Awakened by birdsong and the rays of the sun, the child listens to stories of the butterfly and the ocean's waves, dines on strawberries, gossips with fireflies, and sleeps on a couch of moss. Generations of readers have joined the youngster in these dreamlike adventures amid blooming gardens and on a golden boat under starry skies.
Author Sarah Austin translated this timeless tale from the German original by Friedrich Wilhelm CarovΓ©. This version, reproduced from a magnificent Victorian-era edition, features allΒ fifteen of the original full-color plates.
