Review

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

'Floris Books offers an amazing array of enchanting story books including The Story of the Butterfly Children. Beautifully illustrated in the art nouveau style, this book really captured the imaginations of our young readers... Perfect for sharing, this is a beautiful book that also teaches children about the life-cycle of a butterfly.'
– Creative Steps Magazine

About 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. Her other published works include The Story of the Root Children, Princess in the Forest, The Story of the Snow Children and The Story of the Wind Children.
