The Flowers' Festival

by Elsa Beskow

First published in Swedish in 1914, Elsa Beskow’s charmingly illustrated Flowers’ Festival has been known and loved by children for nearly 100 years. The story of the flowers’ midsummer party takes place in a garden, in honor of Queen Rose, who is surrounded by Lady Pansy and Lord Bleeding Heart and other members of her court. Bumblebees and birds tell stories that contain a wealth of information about the natural world.
