The Forest Elves

Deep in the pine forests of Norway, a family of mischievous little elves is getting ready for midsummer.

Meet the Forest Elves: playful, kind, and never far from their beloved cats. When summer turns to snow, they move into the attic of a big house to keep warm, help Santa on Christmas Eve, and play in the drifts outside. And when the seasons turn again, they set off on an adventure, meeting elves from Denmark and Lapland and discovering that even elves live very differently depending on where they call home.

A warm, whimsical introduction to Scandinavian folklore, perfect for story time and for young readers curious about the magic hiding in the woods around them.

Author Anna Claire drew on her own years living in Oslo and Copenhagen to bring authentic Scandinavian elf traditions to life, alongside a lifelong love of cats that shines through in every page.
