Peter is looking for blueberries for his mother's birthday but he can't find a single one. Suddenly he feels a light tap on his shoe, and a strange and magical adventure begins.
This is one of Elsa Beskow's best-known and best-loved books. Peter gets to explore the world of the blueberry and cranberry children from a miniature size, discovering lots about the natural world that he didn't know before.
'First published in Sweden in 1901, Peter in Blueberry Land still maintains its original appeal. This is an enchanting story, perfect for reading aloud before bedtime.'
