The Tomten and the Fox
- Used Book in Good Condition
â€œThis is a bedtime story that small children will want to hear over and over again.â€â€”The New Yorker

In this sequel to the classic The Tomten, the creator of Pippi Longstocking adapts a Swedish folk tale into a beloved childrenâ€™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.
Â
â€œThe illustrations have a luminous beauty. Thereâ€™s a kind, quiet calm here that warms the winter air.â€â€”The New York Times

â€œCharming, 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 foxâ€™s hunger to boot!â€â€”School Library JournalÂ (starred review)
