Räven och tomten

Just like with the picture book Tomten is awake, this is a text that Astrid Lindgren created in the 60s based on a poem. This is her interpretation of Karl-Erik Forsslund's The Fox and Santa.The story takes place in the countryside, where Mickel the fox sneaks up to the farm where the people live. They don't notice that he comes pawing, but the farm elf sees the fox. Now the hens have to watch out, they are the ones the fox is after. But Santa is watching, and he appeases the hungry fox and shares the porridge that the children set out. Let's be our chickens! admonishes Santa. And the fox may just settle for the porridge ...A bit of Christmas drama superbly recreated in the image of Eva Eriksson, which offers a magical Christmas atmosphere.
