The Mysterious Egg

Kristina Sigunsdotter

Meet the Tomte Children in a brand-new picture book set in Tomteboskogen, a woodland world inspired by the enchanted storytelling universe of Elsa Beskow. Spring has arrived, and the children are eager to play on Bluebell Hill – until they discover a shimmering blue egg hidden
among the flowers. Who does it belong to, and what might be waiting inside?

A lyrical and atmospheric fairy tale about courage, longing, and magic, told in the spirit of Beskow’s beloved classics. Now, August Prize-winning author Kristina Sigunsdotter and illustrator Maria Löfgren breathe new life into this timeless world with original stories created with great care and affection. A celebration of tradition and imagination – perfect for cosy storytimes and quiet read-aloud moments.
