The endearing stories by the Swedish children's book author and illustrator Elsa Beskow have been interpreted by Catharina Kippel. Catharina has selected visual quotations from the original illustrations and reworked Elsa's images into patterns. The charming Christmas elf family kitchen towel from Design House Stockholm has a motif taken from the book called The children of Hat Cottage. The kitchen towel is perfect to give away as a gift and can be combined with other lovely pieces from the Elsa Beskow series.
