Findus and the Christmas Tomte Illustrated by Sven Nordqvistby Sven NordqvistTranslated by Nathan Large

“In Sweden, where Findus and Pettson live, it is not  Father Christmas who brings children their Christmas presents but the  Yule Tomte (Jultomten). ‘The Tomte,’ as Swedes call him, is  shorter and thinner than Father Christmas and is sometimes seen riding  on a goat. He prefers to deliver presents right through the front door.  Instead of stealing into the house at night, he comes after dinner on  Christmas Eve and asks directly, ‘Are there any good children here?’”  (from the book)
Snow is falling on Pettson’s farm, and Christmas is  approaching. Findus, the talking cat, tells Pettson that he is excited  about the Yule Tomte’s visit and gifts. “Oh dear!” thinks Pettson, “How  can I explain that the Yule Tomte may not visit cats?
Findus,  however, is adamant that the Yule Tomte must visit, and because Pettson  does not want to disappoint Findus, he comes up with a plan to build a  Yule Tomte that can move and speak and give Findus gifts—but it is going  to be very difficult to keep this secret from the curious cat, and even  harder to design a convincing mechanical Yule Tomte! What Pettson needs  is a little bit of Christmas magic...
Findus and the Christmas Tomte is a longer Findus book for your collection, with 17 chapters over 130  pages, with Sven Nordqvist’s engaging illustrations throughout.
