<b>“This is a bedtime story that small children will want to hear over and over again.”—<i>The New Yorker</i></b><br><br>In this sequel to the classic <i>The Tomten</i>, the creator 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 looking for food, the guard troll Tomten finds a way to keep the farm animals safe and feed the fox at the same time.<br>  <br>“The illustrations have a luminous beauty. There’s a kind, quiet calm here that warms the winter air.”—<b><i>The New York Times</i></b><br><br> “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!”—<b><i>School Library Journal </i>(starred review)</b>
