By (author): Sibylle von Olfers

George is playing with his boats, but there's no wind to make them sail. Then one of the wind children comes and blows especially for him -- and together they embark on a great adventure.

The wind child blows dandelions in the meadows, shakes apples from the tree and blows the leaves around and eventually she blows George home on a cloud.

A mini gift edition of the classic children's story, from the creator of The Story of the Root Children and The Story of the Snow Children. The beautiful, detailed art-nouveau illustrations cultivate a feeling of magic and nostalgia.
