Etwas von den Wurzelkindern / Prinzesschen im Walde

At the beginning of spring, the root children awaken, sew themselves new clothes, and bid farewell to Mother Earth. Then they venture out into nature and spend their days there, returning to their mother in autumn. With the root children, Olfers has created an enduring classic of children's literature. Alongside it, only "The Little Princess in the Woods," who spends her carefree day with the dew maidens, the moss boys, and the mushroom children, has remained alive to this day. What is particularly enchanting about these books is the Art Nouveau style of their illustrations.
