The Tomtes' Christmas Porridge

It's Christmas Eve, and Papa tomte is eagerly waiting for the human family to put out a bowl of porridge, to say thank you for the tomtes’ help throughout the year.

But Mama tomte has a terrible feeling the family has forgotten about the porridge!

Sven Nordqvist—the popular Swedish author and illustrator of the Findus and Pettson books—has created a playful and festive tale, filled with delightful details
