The story behind the motif
Poster with a magical illustration from Elsa Beskow's saga Olle's ski trip which was published for the first time in 1907.
The motif shows a dramatic scene there Uncle Rimfrost confronts Gumman Tö. Uncle Rimfrost blows icy winds at her, as she flees with her broom lying on the ground. This scene symbolizes the struggle between winter and spring, with winter trying to maintain its hold while spring makes its entrance. It is a visual representation of the transition from the cold of winter to the thaw of spring.
Elsa Beskow (1874-1953) was a Swedish author and illustrator, known for her storybooks for children that combine text and images in a unique way. She wrote and illustrated over 40 books that have become classics in Swedish children's literature. Beskow's stories are often filled with nature romance and Nordic folklore, making them timeless and beloved by generations.
