Vid tjärnen bor en fladdermus, Elsa Beskow, 1910

As dusk falls over the woodland pond, the creatures of the night awaken. Among them is an old bat, mysterious yet kind, carrying little Kajsa on a magical nighttime flight. This atmospheric scene from Tomtebobarnen brings a sense of adventure and wonder, where gnome children and woodland creatures share their world in harmony. The golden evening glow reflects in the still water, mirroring the gnomes as they observe the frogs and the shadows of the forest.

"Vid tjärnen bor där också en gammal fladdermus.
På kvällen är hon ute, men flyr för dagens ljus.
Fast hon är ful att se på, så är hon inte stygg,
För tänk, en kväll så flög hon med Kajsa på sin rygg!"

Ideal for those who love fairy-tale art, magical landscapes, and the timeless charm of Elsa Beskow’s illustrations. A stunning piece for a storybook-themed gallery wall or a cozy reading nook.
