Vividly remember these illustrations from childhood.

The joy of creation and imagination in a book. Spoke to me as a child, and as an adult the illustrations still delight.

Just re-issued with the title "Seraphin" in 2019. I just ordered it; very excited to re-read my favorite childhood book.

All time favourite storybook as a kid.

En fin barnebok jeg leste da jeg var liten.

This nearly timeless approach awakens the fantasy of every child. Serafin and his friend Plum shape their own dreamlike realities though being absolutely grounded. The book is a startet kid for curious, open and interested children all over the place. Keep looking out for the follow-up title!

Do you know how much an original edition of this book in good condition is worth? Heaps! I have one. I won't be selling. I love it too much

One of my favourite books from my childhood. Although I think I had a Welsh translation called "Anturiaethau Seraffin" - "Seraphin's Adventures"

Before their time. Memorable
