Another book from the classic Peter and Lotta series. Elsa Beskow illustrates the exciting adventures that Peter and Lotta experience when they and their three eccentric aunts are invited to an island for a summer picnic with Uncle Blue and his new rowboat.
This charming tale is matched by the delightful illustrations that have made Elsa Beskow a favorite children’s author for at least a century. (Age 5–8)

About the Author:
Elsa Beskow (1874-1953), born Elsa Maartman in Stockholm, was a pioneering author and illustrator of children's books in Sweden―perhaps the best known of all Swedish children's book artists. Her books were inspired by her own childhood experiences, as well as those of her six children. Central themes were the relationships between children and adults and children's independent initiative. Her books are continually reprinted, and many have become classics. She also illustrated ABC books and songbooks for Swedish schools.
Review:
'Evidence from my family and its visitors confirms that Elsa Beskow's Peter and Lotta stories somehow capture the imagination. The illustrations in these lovely hardback editions have something of the charm that Carl Larson's watercolours have. For children I suspect these books have the old-fashioned feel and colour that a good Nordic "heimat" film does for me as an adult. Children love them.' -- Martyn Rawson, Steiner Education, March 2003
