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.

Astrid Lindgren in Norway
The first to bring Astrid Lindgren's books abroad was the publisher Damm & Søn in Oslo, with their Norwegian edition of "Pippi Longstocking" already appearing in 1946. This marked the beginning of a long-standing relationship. Today, most of her books in Norway are published by Cappelen Damm, a publishing house formed through the merger of Cappelen and Damm. Astrid's book adaptations into films also became popular in Norway, as did her famous songs. One of Astrid Lindgren's favorite books was "Hunger" by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun; she often mentioned it as one of her greatest reading experiences.
