Description

“This can be a bedtime story that small children will need to hear again and again.”—The New Yorker

In this sequel to the classic The Tomten, the writer 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 on the lookout for food, the guard troll Tomten finds a technique to keep the farm animals protected and feed the fox on 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 great thing about a Swedish night. The troll Tomten mercifully saves the farm animals from the depredations of Reynard the fox, and manages to appease the fox’s hunger to boot!”—School Library Journal (starred review)
