Replete with full-color lithograph illustrations. Written and illustrated by Swiss Jugendstil painter and illustrator, Konrad Ernst Theophil Kreidolf (1863-1956), known as Ernst Kreidolf. Like all of Kriedolf's stories for children, this book is set in a garden populated by a host of fantastical characters, such as fairies that are anthropomorphized flowers, leaves, insects, and other plants. Kriedolf, a Swiss-born and German-educated artist, is noted for his precise botanical and zoological knowledge, and his ability to manage the resolution of complex conflicts via the natural color palette and gentle disposition of the creatures any child might find in their back yard.
