A classic poster illustrated by Elsa Beskow from Saga of the year in 1927 with the motif May.
Årets saga is a classic picture book by Elsa Beskow from 1927 that deals with the seasons with rhyming text and detailed illustrations. The book depicts how the year passes in home and nature, with verses describing each month. It is one of Beskow's best-known books and a popular read-aloud book for children.
In the book it says: Dear Mrs. Björk, don't stand dark, let out your bright green curls! See hazel pendants and goldenrod; see the whole ground full of whites and the willow politely bowing! Put out your thousand bright green leaves, then first all the world can be sparklingly happy!” Praying stand small spring bulbs, violets with their hats on their necks. Now the birch laughs, when every bud is broken. Look, now she shines green in her top! Then it will be a joy on the slopes. Look, cuckoo with golden viva take a turn, soon the lily of the valley will ring with bells on a string.
Elsa Beskow's fairy tales and illustrations have become classics in Swedish children's literature. She is probably one of Sweden's most beloved authors and illustrators of all time.

We deliver worldwide and always offer free shipping! Depending on which country you are shipping to, the delivery may mean that certain customs fees and taxes are added - there is no duty or tax on deliveries within, for example, the EU, USA or Norway.
The delivery time is normally 1-3 working days within the Nordic region, 2-5 to the rest of Europe and 3-8 working days in other parts of the world. As for canvas paintings, we make them by hand in our factory in Sweden.
The canvas needs to dry before we stretch them on a wooden frame and send them to you. The delivery time for a canvas painting is therefore approximately 7 working days within the Nordic countries, slightly longer to other countries.
If you order from Norway, your order will be delivered with Fedex, to Sweden and other parts of the world with DHL. Your package is normally delivered to your nearest agent!
