Another adventure in the bestselling Peter and Lotta series. For Aunt Brown’s birthday, Aunt Green and Aunt Lavender want to buy her a new hat and lace collar to match her dress. But they need to borrow her dress, and how will they do that without spoiling their surprise?" Story and illustrations by Elsa Beskow. "Beskow (1874-1953), born Elsa Maartman in Stockholm, was a pioneering author and illustrator of children's books in Sweden--perhaps the best known of all Swedish children's book artists. Her books were inspired by her own childhood experiences, as well as those of her six children. Central themes were the relationships between children and adults and children's independent initiative.
