Børnebog. Fra 6 år. I bedste Emil fra Lønneberg-stil. Til højt- og selvlæsning. Engelsk børnebogsklassiker, der står på alle engelske børneværelser. Aldrig tidligere udgivet på dansk. I den danske udgave er de oprindelige tre bind samlet i én bog og nyillustreret. Ella Olsen er en meget bestemt lille pige. Hun ved, hvad hun vil, og er klar til at gå helt til grænsen for at få sin vilje – og det går næsten altid galt, for hun glemmer jo at tænke sig om! Børn er vilde med historierne og gyser frydefuldt over Ella, der er så forfærdelig fræk. Engelsk børnebogsklassiker fra 1970’erne, der i den danske udgave er udstyret med nye illustrationer ved Cecilie Egerod. Pamela Oldfield (1930-2011) skrev over 100 børne- og voksenbøger. Af børnebøgerne er det Melanie Brown- (på dansk Ella Olsen-) serien, hun især er kendt for.
