The Sun Egg, which was published in 1932, is one of Elsa Beskow's most beloved fairy tales, where she takes the reader on a magical journey through the forest. The story revolves around a little fairy who one day finds a mysterious, large and golden object in the forest. Amazed and curious, she at first thinks she has found a sun egg – an egg that has fallen from the sun itself.
The river shows its find to the inhabitants of the forest. Together they try to figure out the egg's secret, while the fairy looks after it with great care. But soon the truth is revealed: the egg is actually an orange that has fallen from a cargo of fruit on a boat. The fairy, who is initially disappointed that it is not a real sun egg, learns that even everyday things can be full of magic and beauty.
In the picture, we see two goblins standing and looking up at the sky in a snow-covered forest landscape.
Elsa Beskow (1874-1953) was a Swedish author and illustrator, whose works have become timeless classics in Swedish children's literature. With over 40 books filled with stories that combine text and image in a unique way, she has captured the hearts of generations of readers. The Sun Egg is an excellent example of her ability to weave together reality and fantasy in a way that inspires and engages children and adults of all ages.

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!
