Ollie's Ski Trip - Children's Book by Elsa Beskow

Ollie has his first pair of real skis and he can't wait to use them! Ollie's Ski Trip is a wonderful snowy story for young children about embracing seasonal change. 

When the woods are finally covered in snow six year old Ollie sets off for a day of fun, where he meets the glittering Jack Frost, the troublesome Mrs Thaw, and visits kind King Winter’s palace. Before heading home he has a magical time skiing, skating and having a huge snowball. Will Mrs Thaw come again and spoil his fun?

Olli's Ski Trip is a collectable picture book faithfully reproducing Elsa's classic illustrations. First printed in 1907, this new edition features a unique hand-crafted design, premium-quality paper, gold foil signature and a luxurious cloth spine.
