Reviews
'It would be hard to find a nicer bedtime story. Beautifully painted, quiet moonlit scenes and poetic words tell of the Tomten, a small elf-like person who lives on a farm. It is a beautiful cosy tale of winter bedtimes, very comforting and definitely one of our favourites.'
-- Hilary Woolf with Isaac (age 4), Education Otherwise, October 2004
About the Author(s)
Astrid Lindgren is a famous Swedish writer of children's books, whose works renewed children's literature in Sweden and in Scandinavia. Lindgren's best-known characters are independent and unconventional, such as the untidy Pippi Longstocking, Karlsson, and Emil with his pranks. She wrote many books for children and received many awards for her work, including the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award for Pippi Longstocking in 1973; the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1958; and the International Book Award from UNESCO in 1993.
