<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Tomten comes for his annual visit to the farm in the dark and cold of midwinter night. He inspects the farm and checks up on the animals with a perplexing riddle on his mind. Finally, he looks in on the master, his spouse and the children. All seems well, as it always has before, but the riddle continues to tease him when only Tomten is awake.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Way up in the Northernland, during the dark, long winter nights, the reading of Viktor Rydberg's <em>Tomten </em>has become an annual Scandinavian tradition. It was first published in<em> Ny Illustrerad Tidning</em> in 1881.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Except for children, . . . few of us spend much time wondering . . . where the cosmos came for or whether it was always here...."
