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.
