Midsummer a Story for Boys and Girls (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Midsummer a Story for Boys and Girls
"We are to meet them on the rocks. Old Hjalmar from the castle is to row them over. Isn't it splendid to think they are really here!"
Valfried Zander tossed her gold braid of hair over her shoulder as she helped her little sister Astrid to climb into the green, freshly painted boat. Then she called, "Jacken come." A fat, black and brown dachshund waddled slowly across the shiny beach and as slowly scrambled over the edge of the rowboat, settling himself comfortably under the first seat.
Bjorn, her brother, gave a shove with his hand on the hot beach, as he jumped into the boat. He had been fishing and his plump, good-natured face was very red. He took the oars and the boat glided out onto the grey green water. There were splashes of color everywhere, purple and gold streaks on the bay. The sky, too, was purple with strange flashes of green and scarlet, for it was evening in Sweden and it was almost midsummer time.
