Old gnome Tomte Tummetot watches over the farm. The hungry fox Mickel finds this out too. No, he's not allowed to catch a chicken to gobble up. Tomte offers him his bowl of porridge instead, which the children of the farmhouse set out for him every evening.
Eva Eriksson has re-illustrated this famous story by Astrid Lindgren with great attention to atmosphere. She painted beautifully twinkling stars, snowy forests, the cow shed, the chicken coop, Mickel the fox, and Tomte himself.
