Description

A delightful children’s book about a Danish farm family and the Nisse that brings them good luck and takes care of them. Nisser are small invisible people of danish (and Norwegian) folktales, know for the hard work and iconic red hats. However, if they don’t receive their yearly wage of a bowl of porridge, they become angry and play tricks on their human families. this collection of charming stories by Albert Jorgensen was first published in Danish as “Nisseborgen” in 1935. the test of the English translation by Anne Ipsen is faithful to the original and includes the numerous original in drawings by Louis Moe, famous for his imaginative illustrations of many classical Christmas books for children.
