Reseña del editor:

Way up in the Northernland, during the dark, long winter nights, the reading of Viktor Rydberg’s Tomten has become an annual Scandinavian tradition.  It was first published in Ny Illustrerad Tidning in 1881.

Scandinavian children have long heard the tales of Tomten wandering through the farm and into the house—how he comes for his regular visit, looking after the animals and watching over the inhabitants, occasionally stopping to ponder the deeper questions of life.  

Every year, children young and old wait with hope and anticipation for that mysterious being who still comes for his annual visit.  When “midwinter night's cold is hard” and you are very still and quiet, you might hear him tiptoe through your house, too.
