My mom give this picture book in my childhood and I read though this again and again. The pictures are beautiful and the descriptions sound tender and comfortable, I, as a small kid, really loved this. Great to hit this video clip! From Japan

Such a memorable book from my childhood! Thanks for helping me remember it. I recall being so compelled by notion of the gentle, bearded fellow watching people while they slept - faintly unsettling but also comforting and lovely.

Loved hearing this story read out loud. Brought tears to my eyes. My Swedish roots are coming to the fore!

I don't blame you! This story doesn't even have any cultural or nostalgic significance to me, and I didn't hear it until I was an adult, but there is something so warm, comforting and profound about it. It definitely made an impression, even on this childless outsider. Amazing!

I heard this on Australian TV myself at some point in the late 80s, early 90s, but it had a different narrator... anyone else familiar with the version I might be thinking of?

Calling it "The tomten" is the equivalent of saying "The the gnome". The "n" at the end of Tomte already indicates "The"

No, that question is way too deep. I cannot fathom that.

Why does he say "Buster" when the Dogs name was karo?

@StarlingKnight 9 жыл бұрын

Most interesting thing is that the horse and dog Pålle/Polle and Karo are called just "gelding" and "guard" in finnish translation :D I think finnish translator has tried to reach some minimalistic state in the work... The horse is called Sam the Shirehorse in the english storytape? luls Sam and Buster, yeah :D
