Far far away, the butterfly folk live in a kingdom of beautiful gardens. The butterfly children play, dance and sing all day long with their little brothers and sisters, the caterpillars.

 

The children can't wait until the first day of spring, when they will finally get their wings. But first, they must learn about the many brightly colored flowers in the kingdom, so they can take part in the flying procession of peacock, swallowtail, red admiral and many other butterflies.

A whimsical story with art nouveau illustrations which also teaches children about the life cycle of the butterfly. A collectable new edition of the classic picture book with a cloth spine. From the creator of The Story of the Root Children.

 

'This beautifully illustrated book is another classic children's story from the author.'

Sibylle von Olfers' (1881-1916) blend of natural observation and use of simple design has led to comparisons with Kate Greenaway and Elsa Beskow.
