|
The Tomten and the Fox and its
companion, The Tomten, are among our favorite
all-time children's stories! These are classic stories with
beautiful, entrancing illustrations that are sure to be cherished and
enjoyed by adults and children alike. The Tomten saves the chickens
from Reynard the fox and offers his own porridge to feed the hungry fox so
that all ends well for the animals on this winter night. A few of the reviews:
"This is a bedtime story that small children will want to hear
again and again." - The New Yorker
"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
"The illustrations have a luminous beauty. There's a
kind, quiet calm here that warms the winter air." - The New York
Times
The enduring story and lovely
illustrations make this a book to be enjoyed for
generations! Hardcover with beautiful color illustrations.
