Die Wichtelkinder

Where the forest is densest, the gnome children and their parents live beneath the roots of an old pine tree. In summer, they play with their friends, the squirrels and frogs; in autumn, they gather berries and mushrooms; in winter, they listen to the stories of Father Gnome. And when spring finally arrives, the joy is immense! Throughout the year, we accompany the four charming gnome children with their red mushroom caps through their wonderful and fantastic world. This enchanting picture book classic from 1910, now available in a new translation, sensitively conveys the connection to nature.
