The Elsa Beskow Tableware RangeElsa Beskow (1874-1953) Swedish artist and author Elsa Beskow's picture books for children were written over 100 years ago and are still as popular as ever, in fact today they have been translated into 14 languages. Beskow's beautiful, warm paintings of the Swedish countryside and especially the forest, have influenced the way several generations have looked at nature. The range is made of durable melamine. Dishwasher safe, but not suitable for microwave use. Elsa Beskow was born in Stockholm in 1874. Her Father was a businessman and her Mother was a teacher. She started to draw at an early age, deciding to become an artist. An especially important person for her was her Grandmother, Johanna Wilhelmina, who told her fairy tales. Elsa worked as a school teacher from 1894 to1897. In 1897 she married Natanael Beskow, an older art student. In 1894 Beskow started to contribute to the children's magazine Jultomten. Her first book, SAGAN OM DET LILLA, LILLA GUMMAN, appeared in 1897. In her books Beskow used her own childhood experience as a source for ideas. Her own six children also inspired her work. Central themes were the relationships between children and adults and children's independent initiative. Beskow published some twenty books. Hat Cottage
