Synopsis

In this book, which was first published in 1909, Sibylle von Olfers tells in harmonious, rhythmic verses about the little princess' morning departure into the peaceful forest. With the help of mystical creatures like dew maids, moss lads, and playful forest animals, she experiences daily adventures, learns wisdom, and enjoys the simple joys of life. This heartwarming tale beautifully weaves together nature's wonders, the princess's curious spirit, and the enchantment of the forest, making it a delightful read for all ages.

As in the other books by the creator of "Something from the Root Children" it is about the relationship between man and nature. The nostalgic Art Nouveau pictures with their playful, linear style create a children's world permeated with innocence and peace.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Sibylle von Olfers (1881-1916), a German author and illustrator, shaped the landscape of children's literature. Born into Königsberg's Metgethen estate, her upbringing within a creative family kindled her artistic passion. Her imaginative games earned her the moniker "wild bumblebee." Crafting picture books for her sister fostered an intimate bond. In 1906, her renowned work "The Root Children" debuted, captivating readers with its narrative and intricate art. Briefly embracing a religious life as a nun added another layer to her story. Despite her premature passing, Olfers' legacy endures, a testament to the enduring magic of her creativity and storytelling.
