Review Quotes
'The pictures are simple but detailed, with the colors and aspect of old prints.'
- Kirkus Reviews
'The book's charm is in the combination of sweetness, gravity, and grace in both the text and the illustrations. Chiildren beguiled by Beskow's 'Princess Sylvie' will want to make Rosalind's acquaintance.'
