"This is a bedtime story that small children will want to hear over and over again."-The New YorkerIn this sequel to the classic The Tomten, the creator of Pippi Longstocking adapts a Swedish folk tale into a beloved children's story.

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 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)
