Ollie's Ski Trip by Elsa Beskow

Mini edition of the bestselling winter story reminiscent of the Moomins, Beatrix Potter and Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies

Six-year-old Ollie is given his first pair of real skis. As soon as the snow begins to fall he heads off into the woods and meets sparkling Jack Frost, who shoos away damp Mrs Thaw.

Jack Frost takes him on an adventure to the palace of King Winter. Ollie has a wonderful time in a huge snowball fight! But will Mrs Thaw return too soon for Ollie to enjoy the snow?
