He comforts all of those that he comes into contact with. ©1968 Coward McCann (P)1965 Weston Woods Editorial Reviews: This preschool pastoral from Astrid Lindgren - she of Pippi Longstocking fame - teaches children about the vast, timeless beauty of nature. The tale concerns a tomten: a nocturnal, elflike creature from Scandinavian folklore, said to watch over the fortunes of farmers. No human has ever seen the tomten, although his small footprints may be spotted in the morning snow. Rather, the tomten flits about under the night sky, communing with barnyard beasts in his "silent little language" that only animals understand. In humble, soft-spoken hues, prolific childrens storyteller Owen Jordan lends a soothing sense of timeless wisdom and tranquility to these moonlit meanderings. At once omnipresent and elusive, immense yet mysterious, the mythical tomten stands as a metaphor for our own relationship with nature.
