Who is it that wanders the countryside on a snowy peaceful night in winter? It is the Tomten, a kindly whitebearded troll who whispers the promise of spring to all the animals in the farmyard. Too bad only animals, not children, can understand Tomten language, for the little troll cannot communicate his message to the sleeping inhabitants of the farmhouse. That's all there is to it - yet the story's fascination is as surely felt as the secret words whispered by the Tomten, largely because of Harald Wiberg's darkly luminous rendition of a tranquil snowy farm with its one wakeful visitor. A reassuring bedtime treat with room for creative fantasy when the lights are dimmed. Adapted from an old Swedish poem. (Kirkus Reviews)
It's a chilly winter night on the farm. Everyone is fast asleep. All but one ... On silent feet the Tomten visits the dreaming cows, the slumbering sheep and the children sleeping soundly in their beds. He whispers softly to each of them, making sure they are safe and warm. This classic picture book is a delight for young children, depicting the traditional Swedish character of the house elf, or tomten.
