About the author
Delfina Aguilar is the founder of Fanny & Alexander, makers of wilfully analogue toys (and now books) that offer a welcome antidote to our digital age, and to modern toys which only require children to sit passively before them.
Fanny & Alexander was founded on a fundamental desire to encourage children (and the adults who love them) to play a little more, and a little better – and The Nature of Play guides them to do just that together, whatever the weather. Designed to be a tool for learning as well as creating many moments of childhood wonder, the book is packed with simple, special ideas for enjoying the changing seasons.
