Per and the Dala Horse is written in the style of traditional Swedish folk tales and combines common elements into a story that is original but still very familiar. I liked this book more for the illustrations than the story. They are beautifully done, with stylized borders on the pages, and lots of colour and detail. Each brother wears distinctive clothing with detailed patterns and embroidery. I'm not sure if this is traditional Swedish garb, but it looks the part.
