The Tomten and the Fox by Astrid Lindgren

The Tomten and the Fox by Astrid Lindgren

"This is a bedtime story that small children will want to hear over and over again."--The New Yorker

In this sequel to the classic The Tomten, the creator of Pippi Longstocking adapts a Swedish folk tale into a beloved children's story. When a hungry fox wanders into a farm late at night looking for food, the guard troll Tomten finds a way to keep the farm animals safe and feed the fox at the same time.
 
"The illustrations have a luminous beauty. There's a kind, quiet calm here that warms the winter air."--The New York Times

"Charming, hushed illustrations and quiet text together evoke the soft, snowy silence and winter beauty of a Swedish night. The troll Tomten mercifully saves the farm animals from the depredations of Reynard the fox, and manages to assuage the fox's hunger to boot!"--School Library Journal (starred review)

Astrid Lindgren was born in Sweden in 1907 and died in 2002. Pippi Longstocking, her most renowned and beloved novel, was followed by two sequels, Pippi Goes on Board and Pippi in the South Seas. She was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest international honor for children's literature, in 1958.
