In Sweden, where Findus and Pettson live, it is not Father Christmas who brings children their Christmas presents but the Yule Tomte.
‘The Tomte’ is smaller than Father Christmas and is sometimes seen riding on a goat …
Instead of stealing into the house at night, he comes after dinner on Christmas Eve and asks directly, “Are there any good children here?”
In Findus and the Christmas Tomte, Findus is excited about the Tomte’s arrival – but Pettson is worried. What if the Christmas Tomte doesn’t visit cats?! What Pettson needs is a bit of Christmas magic…
“All the usual magic of the Findus series and more is contained here ”
