Product Overview

The Tomten - Paperback Book - A classic Swedish children's story by award winning author Astrid Lindgren

The Tomten is one of the most familiar creatures of Scandinavian folklore. From the fairy tales of Hans Christian Anderson, to the Tomten poem by Viktor Rydberg, to the artwork of Jenny Nystrom, the tomten is in so many ways a part of the Scandinavian mythological soul. The tomte was considered to be the very first keeper of the farm and helped care for the farm animals and assisted with the general welfare of the farm.

The Tomte was an honest fellow. He has been depicted as a very small person with a long beard and dressed as a farmer. Although small in stature, he is not weak and his caring spirit and worthiness was believed to help protect house and home

    The Tomten

    Posted by Robert Flaherty on Oct 2nd 2023

    This is a favorite book of mine. I was so happy to find it at The Scandinavian Shoppe. I am Norwegian and Swedish and remember the story very well. The Scandinavianshoppe helps me not forget my heritage and that warms my heart.
