Numerous color illustrations help tell this story about a Swedish troll who protects the farm animals from a hungry fox

In the middle of winter and late at night, an old friend returns for his annual visit to take care of the animals and look after the inhabitants of the old farmhouse.  He goes through his regular routine but becomes perplexed by an undying question for which he cannot find the answer.  Generations come and generations go, but where do they come from and to where do they go?This poem, also known as Midvinternattens Köld är Hård, was written in Swedish by Viktor Rydberg and originally published in the magazine Ny Illustrerad Tidning in 1881.  While outwardly being an idyllic Christmas poem, the poem asks deep questions about the passage of time and the meaning of life.

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.
