Bland tomtar och troll

From url
Since 1907 "Bland tomtar och troll" (translated "Of Gnomes and Trolls") has been an annual publication of Swedish folklore and fairytales. With works from Bauer and Nyblom in it's first publications and including submissions from a veritable who's who of Swedish literature the publication has been linked with the beginning of a golden age in Swedish folklore preservation, research, and publication.(  Works in this publication have gone on to inspire authors in numerous Swedish authors to take up the pen including Astrid Lindgren known globally for her work "Pippi Longstocking," a tall-tale in and of itself.(Linberg-Nyblom, 2009)
