Kurragömma med ekorrbarnen, Elsa Beskow, 1910

High up in the treetops, the little gnome children play hide and seek with their squirrel friends. Climbing among the branches, they blend into the forest with their bright red, spotted caps—perfect disguises against curious eyes. The warm golden hues of the towering pine and the delicate greenery surrounding them create a scene full of movement and charm, a glimpse into Elsa Beskow’s enchanting world of Scandinavian folklore.

"Den närmsta grannfamiljen bor högt i tallens topp;
Dit bruka tomtebarnen så ofta klättra opp
Att leka kurragömma med ekorrbarnen små
Och färska hasselnötter ibland få smaka på."

This delightful illustration captures the playful spirit of the forest gnome children, their mischievous adventures, and their deep connection to nature. A perfect addition to a whimsical gallery wall or a cozy nursery, bringing the magic of Swedish storytelling into your home.
