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
“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)
“The illustrations have a luminous beauty. There’s a kind, quiet calm here that warms the winter air.” -The New York Times
