Karin Michaëlis (20 March 1872 11 January 1950) was a Danish journalist and author. She is best known for her novels, short stories, and children's books. Over the course of 50 years, Karin Michaëlis wrote more than 50 books in Danish, German, and English. The Bibi books came in seven volumes between 1929 and 1939 and were an international success. In these novels for adolescents, readers meet the stationmaster's daughter Bibi, who is motherless but enjoys some freedom as a result. She is an idealistic tomboy who goes on train excursions on her own (with a free ticket due to her father's job) and fights ceaselessly for animal causes. Hedvig Jacobine Henriette Collin (27 May 1880 2 April 1964) was a Danish painter, illustrator and writer. She created both portraits and landscapes but she is remembered above all for illustrating books for children. All images are of the actual book for sale - no stock images are ever used.
